Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
Should it be "is" and not "are"?
Hmm, that's a good question. I've never been sure on that, since the quantity of birds is plural, but there's only one "lot". Googling it, I just find lots of people arguing over which is correct. So I don't really know...
I agree, CK. The countable/non-countable nouns distinction makes sense.
By the way, the Esperanto phrase uses past tense.
(but the Polish one uses present tense)
@Aleksej: I see now that you're right about the past tense. But now that someone has added a Polish translation that uses present tense, I'm not sure how I could fix this.
you can change your sentence and leave a comment on the polish one...
