Disextinctionary

individual words from an English dictionary hidden in fruit and left for insects, birds,

or whatever else is hungry enough.

 

Here lies buried the hope that animals, birds, insects… whatever is able to eat… will at the same time as ingesting their meal, acquire words and eventually, language.

 

This work is based on the following conclusion, which is the result of a lifetime of research:

 

humans will rarely listen to another human but will listen to a talking bird.

 
 

 "animals love people who tak to them" - Joseph Joubert
