I suggest these creatures may be birds. Macmarl (talk) 01:05, 7 April 2016 (UTC) Macmarl (talk) 01:05, 7 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

That is implausible because it can't explain how the Dog has never seen them, nor why some would be absolutely fixed in place and motionless while others talk endlessly. It's a hard reference, which Kafka's contemporaries would get easily but you would have little reason to know about His Master's Voice. I've added a reference identifying it, and pointed out that it's not even the only satirical fiction to use the analogy. --Gwern (contribs) 03:18 26 November 2021 (GMT)
