toby of the day, 5.11.2008

Jon and I study birds. Singing birds to be precise. And while what we know about birds may not be nearly as exciting to reveal at parties as the things we know about lizards (for example, lizards have two penises), we know a lot of arcane facts about birds. However, despite our vast bird knowledge, we know absolutely nothing about this bird. We discovered it pecking our sofa the other night. It appears very hungry as it will peck at almost any surface –coffee tables, rugs, your chest. Fortunately it is a large bird, so perhaps we can keep it without worrying that we will return home one day to a pile of feathers and two full cats. If anything, it looks like the cats are the ones who should worry, it might try to peck them next.
