Happy April Fools Day!

So, today is April Fools Day, if you didn't know. This is the day when people play pranks on each other. When I was a kid, I used to put a fake, porcelain egg in the fridge with the other eggs! I don't think anyone even noticed! I also used to put plastic flies in people's drinks! Anyway, today on the Lorraine programme in the morning there was this guy who claimed that scientists have for years been trying to work out what birds were saying. Now, with the help of AI, he claims they have done it! He claims they use the birds behaviour along with the tone of the birds song to work out what they are saying! He claims they have an app, and what you do is you record the birds in your back garden, and upload it to the app, and then it translates the bird song and tells you what they are saying! He showed us this "app" (which was obviously fake!) and it "translating" the bird song. The guys voice that was saying what the birds were "saying" was very deep and not something you'd want on an app about birds song! I could tell straight away that it was an April Fool, but I think my Mum was sucked in! Have you ever pranked someone on April Fools Day? Have you ever been on the receiving end of a prank on April Fools Day? What are the best April Fools you can think of?
