...and speaking of birds...

...as in my last post, I came across this peculiar bird, trying to find a picture of the
"Burger King" king...you know that "creepy" guy with the plastic head that seems to
appear from no-where with breakfast in hand...he even startles a guy when he wakes
up and finds the "king" in bed with him. This ad campaign drips with creepiness.

...So, anyway back to the bird, He's called...The Subservient Chicken...also sponsored
by "Burger King", (who's in charge there by the way), and when you go to the web site of this bird,
you type in a command for him to do, and as his name implies he will do it, within limits...
but I find it almost as "creepy" as the "king"...try it out...you decide!!!
Here's a picture of the "creepy" bird:

Endangered Whooping Cranes

...Now I'm not much for charities and causes but, this one "Screamed" at me for some reason.
I learned about these magnificent birds from an "Orvis" catalog that I received and decided
to make it a cause of mine and maybe a few of you can help too.

First of all...these Endangered Whooping Cranes were on the verge of extinction and by
1944 there were only twenty-one birds left. These elegant birds stand nearly five feet tall
and have a wingspan of eight feet. They hatch the eggs in Wisconsin, and when they are
old enough to migrate for the first time, an Ultralight shows them the way to Florida.
Of the 53 cranes that have already made the southward trip from 2001 to 2004, forty-five (45) remain. They range in age from 4 years to less than 1 year and continue to act as wild Whooping cranes.
