Mnemonic

You pull the poor pig out of the rubble of the crash. It's not dead, but it had a nasty bump to the head and now thinks it's a bird. "TWEET (つい)!" says the pig. "Tweet, tweet, tweet!" Poor confused pig.

Imagine trying to explain to the pig that it's a pig, and not a bird. "Tweet, tweet, tweet!" says the pig again. Oh dear.
