Besides inserting "lo nu" as Bruno suggested, another way to fix the grammar is 
to connect the two bridi with "ini'ibo".

Moi, je dirais «grillon», mais «criquet» est un mot.

"But you eat all these reptile birds that walk on four and have knees higher 
than their legs to jump."

grasshopper=sauterelle=pipyjalra, cricket=grillon=sagjalra; but I don't like 
"jalra" used to refer to Orthoptera because they're not closely related. The 
cockroaches and termites are now placed in the same order, so I have no 
problem with "mudyctijalra" (which could also refer to the wood-eating 
cockroach that isn't a termite), but the Orthoptera are outside the 
Dictyoptera. And what do we call katydids (which are not in the family 
Katydidae)? What sort of orthopteran does "xargolu" mean?
