Maltese cave cows

Used as an example of something that only really gullible people would believe in.

Born of the urban myth that cows in Malta live underground where it is cooler.

Caroline: Very funny. Like the Maltese cave cows? Is it April 1st by any chance?

Gigeon

A bird that looks, for all the world, like a cross between a goose and a pigeon.

Commonly found in urban duck ponds.

The gigeon in Swanswell Park hangs out with the geese, who must be better company than the pigeons.
