birdbureaucracy
/ˈbɜːdbjʊəˈrɒkrəsi/nounVerified NewAlso in: Vogelbürokratie (Deutsch) · aviburocracia (Español) · oiseaucratie (Français)
The family registry of garden birds, complete with names, records, and one pigeon with a file.
The birdbureaucracy maintains open cases: the one-legged pigeon is "Colonel," the bossy starlings are "the committee," and a new finch triggers a naming session at breakfast. Records are kept in memory and cited at the window with authority. The birds are unaware of their governance, which the household considers ideal.
Etym. — bird + bureaucracy — the paperwork of watching birds, conducted in names.
Rel. — feederpolitics · birdbond
