Áit A bhFuil Magic Wings Air i Deerfield, Massachusetts Tá áit darb ainm Magic Wings i Deerfield, Massachusetts. Is saoráid í inar féidir 3000 speiceas féileacán a fheiceáil, mar shampla, féileacáin darb ainm "monarch butterflies" (Danaus plexippus is baill d'fhine na Nymphalidae), féileacáin darb ainm "blue mountain swallowtails" (Papilio ulysses is baill d'fhine na Papilionidae), féileacáin darb ainm "purple emperors" (Apatura iris is baill d'fhine na Nymphalidae), féileacáin darb ainm "banded king shoemakers" (Prepona meander is baill d'fhine na Nymphalidae), agus araile. Tá roinnt speiceas reiptílí, amfaibiach agus éan ar taispeáint ag Magic Wings freisin. Tá bialann i Magic Wings freisin. Monarchs is ainm di. Níor ith mé ansin riamh, ach ba mhaith liom í a triail an samhradh seo. == American English == A Place Called Magic Wings in Deerfield, Massachusetts: There is a place called Magic Wings in Deerfield, Massachusetts.

Áit a bhFuil Magic Wings Air uirthi [áit is feminine, so you say "on her"] i Deerfield, Massachusetts

Tá áit darb ainm Magic Wings ann i Deerfield, Massachusetts. Is saoráid í inar féidir 3000 speiceas féileacán a fheiceáil, mar shampla, féileacáin darb ainm "bleachtfhéileacán" (Danaus plexippus is ar baill d'fhine na Nymphalidae é), féileacáin darb ainm "féileacán fáinlearrach na sléibhte gorma" (Papilio ulysses is ar baill d'fhine na Papilionidae é), féileacáin darb ainm "impire corcra" (Apatura iris is ar baill d'fhine na Nymphalidae é), féileacáin darb ainm "rífhéileacán gréasaí bandach" (Prepona meander is ar baill d'fhine na Nymphalidae é), agus araile. Tá roinnt speiceas reiptílí, amfaibiach agus éan ar taispeáint ag Magic Wings freisin.

Tá bialann ann i Magic Wings freisin. Monarchs is ainm di. Níor ith mé ansin riamh, ach ba mhaith liom í a thriail an samhradh seo.

The pattern you found on Wikipedia is actually "is baill d'fhine na XXX iad", but in that entry singular and plural are mixed up a bit ("The treecreeper is a bird. They are members of..."); I changed your phrases to singular to make them sounds better ("a butterfly called XXX, which is a member of..."). Apart from that, the construction is also wrong, it should be an indirect relative: "ar ball d'fhine na XXX é".

Bleachtfhéileacán is a monarch butterfly; féileacán fáinlearrach is a swallowtail (I added na sléibhte gorma myself as I couldn't find an official Irish name for this Australian butterfly); Impire corcra is a purple emperor; I couldn't find an Irish form for banded king shoemaker either, so the name I've given here is one I coined, it doesn't exist officially, but if it did, that's what it'd probably be.

Ainm déthéarmach is "binomial name".

Unfortunately the number of butterfly species in Ireland is quite limited, but I suppose that's what you get for living on an island in the temperate zone.

Also, how do you actually say and write "3,000 species" correctly? I wasn't sure.

By the way, I got the pattern "is baill d'fhine na XXX" by searching for animals on Wikipedia so I could see how family names are specified, etc. Is this actually correct though? See the following link: http://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snag_%28%C3%A9an%29 How do you say "binomial name" in Irish though? See the binomial name listed for the monarch butterfly here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch_butterfly
