"Pavones eorum sunt pingues."

Translation: Their peacocks are fat.

[Carissa789117]

Duo doesn't like other birds.

[DavidCousins]

Surely this sentence has a positive connotation.

[Alessia120502]

And their parrots are angry, old and drunk

[MoxieBadger]

I can't believe Duo is out here fatshaming other birds. Not cool, Duo, not cool at all

[mizinamo]

"shaming"?

Where do you see that Duo considers being fat to be negative?

Why is it "eorum" ?

[Giuseppe297424]

It means of them. It is a genetive plural.
In Latin you have suus sua suum which means his/her/their, belonging to the subject of the sentence:

• Marcus libros suos legit (M. is reading his own books)
• Marcus et Licius libros suos legunt (M. & L. are reading their own books)

When the owner is not the subject, you must use eius (lit: of him/her) or "eorum/earum" (of them: eorum when the owners are masculine, neuter or a mix of genders, earum when feminine)

• Marcus librum eius legit (M. is reading his/her, i.e. Lucius', Livia's, book)
• Marcus librum eorum legit (M. is reading their - Lucius et Livius', Lucius et Livia's - book; note that it is one book belonging to more than one person)
• Marcus librum earum legit (M. is reading their - Lucia et Livia's - book; one book belonging to more than one female person)

(the rules are a little more complicated for some special cases, but this is most general - and frequent - use)

Eorum means 'their'

[PaperKqat]

why is "his peacocks are fat" wrong? Shouldn't eorum not change whenever it's "his" "her" or "their"?

[mizinamo]

Shouldn't eorum not change whenever it's "his" "her" or "their"?

There's a distinction between singular owner eius (his, her, its) and plural owner eorum (their - masculine, neuter, mixed) / earum (their - feminine).

Which bird in duolingo is thin?

[Scian4]

The parrot might be, if he spends all his money on booze and has none left for food. Also, anger uses a lot of energy
