Calcery face reveal :]I may change his name later, because the Cal/Mel/Tal nickname trifecta is starting to bug me.

Bug ferrets are kind of overwhelming, but that's their whole deal. They also have difficulty pronouncing consonants that require a labial seal, like m, v, p, and b. Despite their fantastic grasp of language, their mouth equipment is not very talented. Avians get away with passable "lip" consonants by having a much more flexible pharynx and tongue than ferrets.
