A selection of Various Birds
-
Yvette was thrilled--she made the first cut in the Houston Texans cheerleader tryouts. Being the only roseate spoonbill, she had not only her natural elegance, but the minority thing going for her . . .
-
Randy hated this time of the year; the ticks were everywhere. Unlike the cattle egrets who ate ticks, Randy didn't; in fact he didn't even have a good beak for getting rid of them . . .
-
Brian--a Kestrel, thank you very much--was a little miffed when he was called a sparrow hawk. He never ate sparrows and didn't know anyone who did. They didn't look like they would taste good at all . . .
-
Henry, reading 20th century history, stumbled onto Joseph McCarthy and his famous Red Baiter hunt for Communists in the 1950's. He wondered what Joe would have thought of him . . .
-
Billie and Twyla Sue were convinced they had invented a new sport--Neck Wrestling--and hoped to get ESPN interested. The only drawback was it didn't work very well for cardinals or sparrows . . .
