ABA list of introduced birds (and where they count) (2 Viewers)

[Kirk Roth]

Considering that each goldfinch has nonzero mass, if there was an uncountable number of them in the ABA, the ABA would necessarily collapsed to a black hole due to the infinite mass of goldfinches.

An irrefutable truth! Albeit one that relies on assumptions - for example any quantity may be "uncountable" to any entity which does not yet know how to count the said quantity...

"Countable" is relative to whomever is the counter. European Goldfinch is considered extirpated by the NY State Ornithological Association: https://www.nybirds.org/Publications/ChecklistNYS.htm

I stand corrected. Thanks.

For all the Euro Goldfinch fans on Lake Michigan.
