Unless that ear-trumpet normally also improves his eye-sight, [In reply to] Can't Post
I don't think its being damaged could be an excuse for not being able to tell a thrush from a raven!

Thrush: around the size of an American robin, depending on the species (actually, robins are in the thrush family, so technically they are thrushes too), usually brownish on top with brown-streaky underparts; spends a lot of time hopping on the ground. Smallish insectivore beak.

Raven: Around three times longer and maybe eight+ times heavier than a robin; shiny coal black. Waddles when walking, not so much hopping. Massive beak.

Really, it boils down to small brown bird vs. huge black bird -- Oin ought to be able to tell them apart even if he were *looking* through his squished ear trumpet!

    Good point on the black speech. And Thorin does seem to understand, which is strange. As to Rhosgobel, AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Feb 4 2013, 1:33am

    -- the first wide shot of Rivendell is, IMO, the worst (most obvious) matte painting of all the films so far. Maybe the giant IMAX screen made it even more obvious but it is SO fake looking. It looked so much better in FOTR. Lusitano Send a private message to Lusitano Feb 4 2013, 1:49am
