When my husband and I were first dating, he thought a herd of black Angus cows were bears. He was so excited...now we shout bears, and say moo-grrrr

I grew up on a farm with cows and even I would wave and say "Hi cows!" every time I passed them.

“Hey, lookie over there a bunch of cows.”
“Not a bunch, a herd.”
“Heard of what?”
“Herd of cows”.
“Of course I’ve heard of cows!”
“No, no, a cow herd.”
“What do I care what a cow heard, I don’t have any secrets from a cow.”
My family used to do this every time we passed cows.

I'm assuming this is only for people who didn't grow up near cows.

And sheep. And deer. And duck/geese/swans, especially if they have butts-up.
