If a geezer can't call a bird a bird what can he call a bird?

Can you elaborate? Google provides 600 hits to that word, none of them
in english.
"Ptak" is either Polish or Russian for "bird". I don't know what "Chces
videt muj ptak?" is, I don't think there is a sound that transliterates
to 'j' from Cyrillic, but if I had to guess, it says "Do you want to see my
bird". "Ptakovina" is probably a diminutive or a woman's name.
