I heard the little bird say so. - Jonathan Swift, Letter to Stella
DEY NEVA NAME DAIR SOURCE!
I hoird it learned it from a fella Who hoid it on da news Da ruma from da streets On second avenue
But dats not where it started It rumbled in da Bronx Den washed ova the village From fellas sporting ankhs
They told the fashionistas Who gossiped by the models Who told the makeup artists Who chewed gum with a waddle
And then they told the waiters Who smiled for their tips Who told it to the cooks With greasy fingertips
They spread it thru da kitchens Then to health inspector Who told it to the big shots Who came for kick back nector
And then they all went searching To loin if it was true They called the FBI And gave them all the news
They called the TV stations Backed by the police force And tho they claim free speech
Dey NEVA name their source

I KNOW NOTHING! But birds of a feather.....etc

Why is bird poop white?
Unlike mammals, birds don't urinate. Their kidneys extract nitrogenous wastes from the bloodstream, but instead of excreting it as urea dissolved in urine as we do, they excrete it in the form of uric acid. Uric acid has a very low solubility in water, so it emerges as a white paste. This material, as well as the output of the intestines, emerges from the bird's cloaca. The cloaca is a multi-purpose hole for birds: their wastes come out of it, they have sex by putting their cloacas together, and females lay eggs out of it.
pooping on people is a real art form! don't let Bush see this piece, it might confuse him!
love the creative wit herein, Good Queen A Pax.

this made me laugh. It is creative, humorous and sharply contemporary. Your use of dialect and slang was an added plus. Also, the added biological info on bird anatomy was a pefect garnish...hehehehehe.

Thank you for the bird poop information, I would have been less a man had I died not know that. As for as the poem, our government is beseiged with tattlers and it is not all in good fun . . .
I really love the way you presented this and the slang was the extra umph to get it across...pure genuis and I would've never learned as much about pigions had this pen not afforded that chance.
Though I tend to be a curious person, by nature, I do believe I could have gone a lifetime without ever learning about cloacas and been none the worse for it!! LOL The one thing you didn't explain, that I have always been very curious about is how birds know when a car has just been washed and exactly what their facination is with crapping all over it? Funny stuff, Anita!
Take care,

Cute write but a lot of truth in it, should always doubt someone who offers second hand info without being prepared to say where it came from. Also thanks for the informative poop on birf poop. Learned something new today already.
A humorous look at the world and life through my eyes.
