Subj:     Red Pigeon In Phoenix (S501b)
          From: tblase
      and From: jbcary1 on 8/26/2006
          (Also see 'A Tourist And The Rat Sculpture' in RATS)

 The mayor of Phoenix was very worried about a plague of
 pigeons in the area.  The mayor could not remove the
 pigeons from the city.  All of Phoenix was full of pigeon
 poop.  The people of Phoenix couldn't walk on the side-
 walks or drive on the roads.  It was costing a fortune to
 try to keep the streets and sidewalks clean.

 One day a man came to City Hall and offered the Mayor a
 proposition.  "I can rid your beautiful city of its
 plague of pigeons without cost to the city.  But, you must
 promise not to ask me any questions. Or, you can pay me
 five million dollars and ask one question."  The mayor
 considered the offer briefly and accepted the free
 proposition.

 The next day the man climbed to the top of City Hall,
 opened his coat, and released a red pigeon.  The red pigeon
 circled in the air and flew up into the bright blue Arizona
 sky.  All the pigeons in Phoenix saw the red pigeon.  They
 gathered up behind the red pigeon.  The Phoenix  pigeons
 followed the red pigeon as she flew eastward out of the
 city.

 The next day the red pigeon returned completely alone to
 the man atop City Hall.  The Mayor was very impressed.  He
 thought the man and the red pigeon had performed a wonder-
 ful miraculous feat to rid Phoenix of the plague of pigeons.

 Even though the man with the pigeon had charged nothing, the
 mayor presented him with a check for 5 million dollars and
 told the man that, indeed, he did have a question to ask and
 even though they had agreed to no fee and the man had rid
 the city of pigeons, he decided to pay the 5 million just to
 get to ask ONE question.

 The man accepted the money and told the mayor to ask his
 question.

 The mayor asked: "Do you have any red Mexicans?"

Subj:     Barn Owls Web Cam In Benicia (S363b)
          From: Gary Brogue's column
          in the Contra Costa Times on Sun, Jan. 11, 2004
 at http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/living/7684763.htm

 Dear Gary:
 We have had nesting/breeding barn owls living in our neighbor-
 hood in the Benicia Arsenal for years, and recently have put a
 web Cam inside their nest box.  Everyone in the neighborhood
 loves the cam, as it brings us all closer to our feathered
 friends.

 It can also be viewed anywhere in the world via the Internet.
 The camera is on 24 hours a day and is equipped with infrared
 night vision for late-night action.  The owls should be starting
 their mating cycle pretty soon, and we can't wait to see them
 incubating their eggs and caring for little owlets.

 Check out the cam at http://owl.cam.intuitiveisp.com.

 Scott Zoog, Studio 113, Benicia

 Dear Scott:
 Most wild birds don't start incubating their eggs until the
 whole clutch has been laid.  That way they all hatch at the
 same time and the babies grow up together.  They're a lot
 easier to raise that way.

 Barn owns lay their eggs a day or two apart until eight eggs
 have been laid, but they start incubating immediately with
 the first egg.

 The first egg hatches first, and the last hatches last, over
 a week or two period, and they end up with barn owl chicks
 of all ages growing up together in the nest, with all sorts
 of interesting results (big brother beating up on little
 brother, food fights over gophers, etc.).

 Being able to observe all their owl family interactions will
 be truly fantastic!

 As long as we're on the subject, bald eagles, herons, seals,
 bats and salmon can also be observed live through webcams at
 a Washington State Web site: www.wdfw.wa.gov/wildwatch.

 Gary's here Tuesday-Friday ? Sunday; write Gary, c/o Times,
 P.O. Box 5088, Walnut Creek, CA 94596-0087; or at

Subj:     The Gooney Bird And The TV (S309b)
          From: LABLaughs.com on 1/2/2003

 Hymie Goldberg's wife had reached the end of her tether
 with her husband always sitting and watching the TV and
 never talking to her.

 In desperation, she went to a pet shop and asked the
 owner if he had a pet that would destroy the TV set.

 "It so happens," replied the owner, "that I have a
 Gooney Bird.  I wouldn't normally wish to part with it,
 but I will for fifty dollars."

 "What is so special about a Gooney Bird?" asked
 Mrs Goldberg.

 "Well," said the owner, "supposing you want to destroy
 your chair, then release the Gooney Bird from its cage
 and say, 'Gooney Bird, the chair!' and the Gooney Bird
 will reduce it to matchwood in less then a minute."
 This sounded ideal, so Mrs Goldberg bought the Gooney
 Bird and took it home.

 She came into the living room and put down the cage. As
 usual, Hymie was sitting staring at the TV.  Hymie said
 without looking round, "What have you got there, dear?"

 "A Gooney Bird," replied Mrs Goldberg, as she opened
 the cage door, about to say, "Gooney Bird, the TV."

 Hymie retorted, "Gooney Bird? Gooney Bird, my ass!"

Subj:     The Buzzard, Bat, And Bumblebee (S230)
          From: mombear1 on 6/25/2001

 If you put a buzzard in a pen six or eight feet square and
 entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of his ability
 to fly, will be an absolute prisoner.  The reason is that a
 buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run
 of ten or twelve feet. Without space to run, as is his habit,
 he will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner
 for life in a small jail with no top.

 The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably
 nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level
 place.  If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it
 can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully,
 until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can
 throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like
 a flash.

 A Bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler, it will be
 there until it dies, unless it is taken out.  It never sees
 the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to
 find some way out through the sides near the bottom.  It
 will seek a way where none exists, until it completely
 destroys itself.

 In many ways, there are many people like the buzzard, the
 bat, and the bumblebee.  They struggle about with all
 their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the
 answer is right there "above" them

 This is in no way a reflection on you...just an interesting
 bit of information....
 Hugs, Ava

Subj:     Two Robins Eat Worms (S221, S458)
          From: mombear on 4/25/2001

 Two robins were sitting in a tree.

 "I'm really hungry," said the first one.

 "Me, too" said the second.

 "Let's fly down and find some lunch."  They flew to the
 ground and found a nice plot of freshly plowed ground full
 of worms. They ate and ate and ate and ate until they
 couldn't eat anymore.

 "I'm so full I don't think I can fly back up to the tree,"
 said the first one.

 "Me either. Let's just lay here and bask in the warm sun,"
 said the second.

 "O.K." said the first. They plopped down, basking in the sun.

 No sooner than they had fallen asleep, when a big, fat tom
 cat snuck up and gobbled them up.  As he sat washing his
 face after his meal, he thought....

 Ready..................
 

 You're gonna love this one..............
 

 "I just love baskin' robins."

Subj:     Two Woodpeckers Argue (S93)
          From: FrankRoesc on 98-11-10

 An Alaskan woodpecker and a Texas woodpecker were in Alaska
 arguing about which state had the toughest trees to peck.
 The Alaskan woodpecker said that they had a tree that no
 woodpecker can peck.  The Texas woodpecker challenged him
 and was able to peck a hole in the tree with no problem.

 The Alaskan woodpecker was in awe.  The Texas woodpecker
 challenged the Alaskan woodpecker to peck a tree in Texas
 that no woodpecker has been able topeck successfully.  The
 Alaskan woodpecker expressed confidence that he could do it.

 After flying to Texas and successfully pecking the tree in
 Texas, the two woodpeckers couldn't figure out why the Texas
 woodpecker was able to peck the Alaskan tree and the Alaskan
 woodpecker was able to peck the Texan tree when neither one
 was able to peck the tree in their own state.

 After thinking for some time they both came to the same
 conclusion: "Your pecker is always harder when you're away
 from home."

Subj:     Man Tried For Killing Bald Eagle (S47, S344)
          From: Ossama's Laugh on 12/27/97
      and From: PGSP4LIFE on 10/25/1999

 A man is caught, by a forest ranger, sitting at a make-shift
 campfire, and to the ranger's horror, eating a bald eagle.
 The man is consequently put in jail for the crime.  On the
 day of his trail, the conversation went something like this:

 Judge: "Do you know that eating a bald eagle is a federal
        offense?"

 Man : "Yes I did.  But if you let me argue my case, I'll
       explain what happened."

 Judge: "Proceed."

 Man : "I got lost in the woods. I hadn't had anything to eat
       for two weeks.  I was so hungry.  Next thing I see is
       a Bald Eagle swooping down at the lake for some fish.
       I knew that if I followed the Eagle I could maybe steal
       the fish.  Unfortunately, in the process of taking the
       fish I killed the Eagle.  I figured that since I killed
       the Eagle I might as well eat it since it would be more
       disgraceful to let it rot on the ground."

 Judge: "The court will take a recess while we analyze your
       testimony." 15 minutes goes by and the judge returns.

 Judge: "Due to the extreme circumstance you were under and
       because you didn't intend to kill the Eagle, the court
       will dismiss the charges. The Judge then leans over the
       bench and whispers, "If you don't mind my asking, what
       does a bald eagle taste like?"

 Man : "Well, Your Honor, it's a little difficult to explain,"
       the defendant says. "The best way I can describe it is
       to say that it's far more tender than a California Condor,
       but the meat is quite bland compared to a Spotted Owl."

Subj:     Bird Bands (DU)
          From: Anaise on 98-09-11

 According to the Knight-Ridder News Service, the inscription
 on the metal bands used by the U.S. Department of the Interior
 to tag migratory birds has been changed.  The bands used to
 bear the address of the Washington Biological Survey,
 abbreviated: "Wash.  Biol.  Surv." until the agency received
 the following letter from an Arkansas camper:

 "Dear Sirs:

 While camping last week I shot one of your birds.  I think it
 was a crow.  I followed the cooking instructions on the leg
 tag and I want to tell you it was horrible."

 The bands are now marked "Fish ? Wildlife Service".

Subj:     Carpet Layer Looses Cigarettes (S67)

          (Also see 'The Carpet Layer' in Other Occupations)

 A carpet layer had just finished installing carpet for a lady.
 He stepped out for a smoke, only to realize he'd lost his
 cigarettes.  In the middle of the room, under the carpet, was
 a bump.  "No sense pulling up the entire floor for one pack
 of smokes," he said to himself.  He proceeded to get out his
 hammer and flattened the hump.

 As he was cleaning up, the lady came in. "Here," she said,
 handing him his pack of cigarettes. "I found them in the
 hallway."  "Now," she said, "if only I could find my parakeet."

Subj:     The End of the Raven
          -- by Edgar Allen Poe's Cat

 On a night quite unenchanting, when the rain was downward
 slanting, I awakened to the ranting of the man I catch
 mice for.  Tipsy and a bit unshaven, in a tone I found
 quite craven, Poe was talking to a Raven perched above
 the chamber door.  "Raven's very tasty," thought I, as
 I tiptoed o'er the floor,
           "There is nothing I like more"

 Soft upon the rug I treaded, calm and careful as I headed
 Towards his roost atop that dreaded bust of Pallas I
 deplore.  While the bard and birdie chattered, I made
 sure that nothing clattered, Creaked, or snapped, or fell,
 or shattered, as I crossed the corridor; For his house is
 crammed with trinkets, curios and wierd decor -
          Bric-a-brac and junk galore.

 Still the Raven never fluttered, standing stock-still as
 he uttered, In a voice that shrieked and sputtered, his
 two cents' worth -
          "Nevermore."

 While this dirge the birdbrain kept up, oh, so silently
 I crept up, Then I crouched and quickly lept up, pouncing
 on the feathered bore.  Soon he was a heap of plumage, and
 a little blood and gore -
           Only this and not much more.

 "Oooo!" my pickled poet cried out, "Pussycat, it's time I
 dried out!  Never sat I in my hideout talking to a bird
 before; How I've wallowed in self-pity, while my gallant,
 valiant kitty Put an end to that damned ditty" - then I
 heard him start to snore. Back atop the door I clambered,
 eyed that statue I abhor,
          Jumped - and smashed it on the floor.

Subj:     Penguin Has Engine Problems (S54, S527)
          From: humorlist-digest V2 #33 on 98-02-03

 A penguin is taking a road trip when his car suddenly breaks
 down.  Luckily for him, he finds himself just down the street
 from a mechanic, so he pushes his car to the shop and asks
 the mechanic to take a look.  The mechanic tells him that it
 will probably take a little while to find the problem and asks
 him to come back in an hour.

 The penguin goes over to the supermarket buys some fish sticks
 and vanilla ice cream and spends the rest of the hour hanging
 out in the frozen section.  After the hour is up, he waddles
 over to the mechanic's shop.  Seeing him come in, the mechanic
 walks over and wiping his hands on a rag says, "Looks like
 you've blown a seal."

 The penguin blushes, wipes his beak with his flipper and says
 "No, it's just vanilla ice cream."

 You can see this joke as a very funny movie on my web site

Subj:     MIT Student Feeds Birds (S353b)
          A unverified legend from MIT

 An MIT student spent an entire summer going to the Harvard
 football field every day wearing a black-and-white striped
 shirt, walking up and down the field for ten or fifteen
 minutes throwing birdseed all over the field, blowing a
 whistle and then walking off the field.

 At the end of the summer, it came time for the first Harvard
 home football game, the referee walked onto the field and blew
 the whistle, and the game had to be delayed for a half hour to
 wait for the birds to get off of the field.

 The guy wrote his thesis on this, and graduated.

 This is an Urban Legend as comfirmed at

Subj:     The Penguin Game (S527c)

 A Mexican newspaper reports that bored Royal Air Force
 pilots stationed on the Falkland Islands have devised
 what they consider a marvelous new game.  Noting that
 the local penguins are fascinated by airplanes, the
 pilots search out a beach where the birds are gathered
 and fly slowly along it at the water edge.  Perhaps ten
 thousand penguins turn their heads in unison watching
 the planes go by, and when the pilots turn around and
 fly back, the birds turn their heads in the opposite
 direction, like spectators at a slow-motion tennis match.
 Then, the paper reports, "The pilots fly out to sea and
 directly to the penguin colony and overfly it.  Heads go
 up, up, up, and ten thousand penguins fall over gently
 onto their backs.

 This story is NOT true, as reported by Snopes.com at
 http://www.snopes.com/critters/wild/penguin.htm

Subj:     Crow Desperate For Sex (S370)
          From: Grampsboyd on 2/17/2004

 There's a crow flying around one day who's really desperate
 for sex.  He flies and flies and flies, looking for anything
 with wings.  Finally he spots a Blue Tit. He flies down and
 gets it on with this little tot.  After he's done his deed,
 the bird turns around to him and says, "I am a little tit,
 I had a little bit, and I liked it. "

 The crow is still horney, so he jumps back in the air, and
 flies around looking for another feathered friend.  There
 below he spots a dove.  He dives down, lands next to this
 dove and gets it on with her.  When he's done, the dove
 turns around and says,  "I am a little dove, I had a little
 love, and I liked it. "

 This crow is a real sex maniac, he wants even more.  Without
 even a thank you, he leaps into the air and begins his
 search again.  He spots a duck, drops down next to his third
 conquest, and proceeds to have his wicked way with the duck.
 When he's done, the DUCK turns around and says, "I am a
 little Drake, you made a big mistake, but I liked it!"

Subj:     Falcon Chicks Hatch Atop SF Building
          From: NBC11.com on 05/13/05 (S428b)
          Source: http://pge.com/peregrinenestcam

 Three peregrine falcon chicks hatched Tuesday in a nest atop
 Pacific Gas and Electric Co.'s building in San Francisco, the
 utility announced.  The peregrine parents laid the eggs in
 their nest on the high-rise in early March.  The incubation
 period for the endangered bird takes about 30 days after the
 last egg is laid, PG?E reported.

 Scientists from the University of California, Santa Cruz
 Predatory Bird Research Group placed a nest box on a ledge
 of the PG?E building after peregrines began it as a perch in
 the mid-1980s.

 This peregrine pair has nested at the site since 2003.  Last
 year they successfully hatched two chicks.

 A camera installed in January allows scientists and the public
 to observe the peregrine falcons online at

 "Don't worry, son.  Your mother will come back.  She's only

 The next night, it's fathers turn to do the job. "Son, your
 father will be back as soon as possible, but now he's
 bringing joy to new mommies and daddies."

 A few days later.  The stork parents are desperate: their
 son is gone from the nest all night!  Finally, short before
 dawn, he returns and the parents ask their son where he had
 been all night.

 Says the baby stork: "Aww, just scaring the shit out of
 college kids!"

Subj:     Blue Bird Sings Inside Manure (S30, S473)

 One day a little blue bird was sitting upon a tree.  Minding
 his own business and all of the sudden a gust of wind came
 down with such force that knocked the poor little bird clean
 off the branch.  Laying helplessly on the ground, the bird
 called for help.  "tweat tweat"

 Finally a nice man came along and picked up the little blue
 bird. "My how this bird is so cold" the man thought to him-
 self.  So The nice man carried the cold bird in his arms
 looking for the perfect place to put him, and warm him up.
 The man lived on a farm you see, so when he got home, he
 decided to put the little bird in a pile of manure.   This
 warmed the little birdy up and he was feeling FINE.  The
 little blue bird started to sing away.  "cherp cherp"

 Also on the farm lived coyotes..and coyote Fred could hear
 the littel blue bird cherp from the manure, and began to
 persue his prey.  Fred located little blue and stuck his
 nose in the manure and ripped little blue from his blissful
 warmth and devoured him.

 The moral of the story is:
 1.  It's not always your enemies that get you into deep shit.
 2.  It's not always your friends that get you out of deep shit.
 3.  If you ever happen to be in deep shit, just shut your
     mouth about it.

Subj:     Watching Students Like A Hawk (S272c)
          From: jerry on 4/17/2002
 Watching students like a hawk is certainly true at a primary
 school in Ayrshire in the UK that has hired two hawks to
 protect pupils from dive-bombing seagulls who have been
 attacking them as they eat their snacks in the playground.

 Has it been working?

 "The sheer number [of seagulls] was considered to be a
 health and safety risk," says Roddie MacDonald, education
 coordinator. "The hawks fly every morning to frighten away
 the birds.  The playground has become a much safer place
 for the children."

 The students have taken a liking to the hawks and take
 turns stroking them in the mornings.

Subj:     Eagles in a Storm (S208)
          From: tadams96 on 1/23/2001
 Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching
 long before it breaks?

 The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds
 to come.  When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the
 wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm.  While the
 storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.  The eagle
 does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift
 it higher.  It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

 When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will
 experience them - we can rise above them.  We can ride the
 winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure
 and disappointment in our lives and soar above the storm.
 Our approach and attitude will determine if the storm will
 rise above us or if we will be lifted to new heights by its
 wind.  Be positive, go forward, and make the metal of your
 life stronger from your experiences.

Subj:     Police Burn Marijuana Crop (S116, S527c)
          From: KMacinty on 4/9/99
 The Sheriff's Department in Mendocino County came upon a
 huge crop of marijuana, illegally grown in the wilds, and
 determined that it should be cut down, loaded on trucks
 and transported to a remote beach on the coast and burned.
 This was accomplished and as the evil weed was being
 consumed, great clouds of smoke rose high into the sky.
 At this time a large flock of terns, on their annual
 migration, passed overhead and through the billowing
 clouds of smoke. No tern was left unstoned.
 

 The REAL reason ostriches stick their head in the sand
 is to search for water.

 Birds take off at sunrise.  On the opposite side of the
 world, they are landing at sunset.  This causes the earth
 to spin on its axis.

 Have you heard of that disease that you get from kissing
 birds?  Chirpes.  It's one of those canarial diseases.
 I hear it's untweetable.

 Why do seagulls fly over the sea? If they flew over the bay
 then they would be bagels.  --  Jon Smith

 If NASA sent birds into space they would soon die;
   they need gravity to swallow.

 Very early one morning two birds are sitting at the
 side of a large puddle of oil.  They see a worm on
 the other side.  So... the one flies over and the
 other one swims through - which one gets to the
 worm first?  The one who swam, of course, because
 "Da oily boid gets da woim."

From: pns on 3/10/2002 (S273c)
 The early bird may get the worm,
 but the second mouse gets the cheese.
