An improvisatory, essentially indefensible, randomly configured tragi-comedy

Bit of a slow one
A good wander round Uskmouth followed by quick visits to Goldcliff and Llanwern produced VERY little in the way of birds. The most notable 'highlights' were either: botanical, four species of orchid showing well; invertebrate, moffs, odonata, etc.; or mammalian, a lovely ickle baby fox. The only avian joys were, in rough order of joyousness, a brood of Stonechat (there is only one pair on the reserve), a Whimbrel or two, managing to read three metal rings on feral Greylags and the fattest gosling in the world EVER! Thank little baby Jeebus it is going to piss down for the next two days, I can now stay in tweaking my plans for next month's birding blitzkrieg of northern California (the Modoc Plateau or the Warner Mountains or both?).

I see you're an animal lover. Ever considered socialising with your primate cousins?
How odd, firstly I have never understood the concept of 'animal lover', personally I find it conjures up images that are best left in the deepest recesses of the interweb.
Secondly, what series of events have resulted in a gorilla obtaining a, at least rudimentary, grasp of the English language? I would have thought most gorillas would speak one of the Bantu group of languages. Perhaps Kikongo/Kongo or Tshiluba/Luba-Kasai/Luba-Lulua, or maybe Baboa, Ngombe, Ngala, Nkundu or even Komo. My personal preference would be Mongo which, in addition to being a dialect/language is also a fictional planet in Flash Gordon and a character in Mel Brooks' 'Blazing Saddles',... cool.
