The movie 48 shades, currently screening has an 'ornithological twist'.

It is an Australian 'coming of age' movie set in Brisbane.

The 'hero' a BBC student tries to impress a uni girl with his knowledge of 
birds and their scientific names.  After reading Cayley, he proudly calls a 
black duck a grey teal and a collared dove a striated thornbill. 

The title 48 shades supposedly refers to the number of shades of brown found in 
little brown birds.
