Come to find out that it's National Bird Day today and we actually found out a little more about birds that we probably expected! The Mike & Carla Morning Show just threw it out there this morning and before you know it, listeners were calling in with all sorts of bird facts!
First off we should let everyone know that this is a relatively new "Day" on the calendar having been added in 2002. And with all the different species of birds, it quite the diverse salute! For those that don't know, Nevada's state bird is the Blue Bird! Officially claimed back in 1967, our state made the Blue Bird official...in fact the bird is so popular that the state of Idaho also puts the claims on the Blue Bird as their state bird!
However, the Blue Bird may only live from 6-10 years in the wild which is quite the opposite from the birds that were mentioned this morning that included parrots, cockatiels and more! Come to find out that these birds can out live us all! in fact one listener said that his father, a Merchant Marine, smuggled a bird into the country and since his parents have now passed, the bird has found a new home with other in-laws!
Oh, and we come to find out that if you have talking birds in your house, be careful! They tend to repeat whatever they hear...ask Carla Rea who said that family pet bird would say stuff like, "you wanna go upstairs?" It made her wonder what her parents were doing throughout the afternoon while she was in school!
we also found out that certain birds can be messy and mean! Not the friendly, "here, let my bird land on your shoulder" type animal! Nonetheless, all interesting stuff especially if you are a big fan of birds...all this on The M&C Morning Show!
