"A negyvenedik kicsi, zöld madár is a fán ül."

Translation: The fortieth small, green bird sits in the tree too.

[Evolita]

Birds happen to sit IN the tree, not on it. Sitting on a branch but IN a tree. Reported a while ago.

[Don6740]

Perhaps the tree has been felled.

[Evolita]

funny... This is how they say it. "On the tree" - might mean on the very top. Under normal circumstances birdies tend to hang out "inside" the tree according to anglo-saxons

[BigWayne19]

------- well, maybe not "inside" the tree. rather in the tree . . .

[Evolita]

Yes, "in the tree." You're right, I just used "inside" to describe the actual location of those poor birds... thanks for the correction, Wayne!

[Shamarth]

I think Evolita said so only to emphasise the difference between the Hungarian and the English expression.

[Peter255437]

Don't birds perch rather than sit? I will complain.
