everytime my brother and i went fishing an dlost the fish on the pole we would hear a bird. I would always tell him that the bird was laughing at him because he lost his fish. I still tell him that everytime he looses a fish.

I used to really think that a ferret was a type of parrot because their names rhyme.

Let me share with you a method for distinguishing a male pigeon from a female one...
First you catch such a bird and take their beak between your thumb and forefinger. (Please, be kind!) If your victim tries hard to escape, you've got a female...
...or that's what my father and his fellows practised when they were kids.

I once found an abandoned goose egg in the park , and remembering that eggs had to be kept warm at all times I took it home and wrapped a small blanket around it so that it would hatch .

when my mom was a kid she thought that if you caught a hummingbird, it would drill a whole through your hand.

I used to believe that roadrunners were about 4 feet tall (Thanks Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote!). The we went to visit my Grandmother in Arizona when I was about 7 or 8 and was quite suprised to see a real roadrunner!

When I was a little boy I used to believe, chicks went out when an egg was broken until a chick was really out. So now I stop eating eggs.

tomba

When me or my brothers pouted and stuck our lip out my Dad would say that little birds were going to land on my lip and pinch it. when I looked away with my lip still out, my Dad would somehow get his finger up there and pinch me. He still does it when we pout. But we hardly ever pout.

I used to believe that the eggs were actual baby chickens. Daddy used to scare me and told me that they were murdering baby chickens. I always wondered how cause of the egg but to this day i twitch when I crack an egg afraid a baby chick will fall out. I even had a nightmare once about it. I'm 18 now and still worried about it.

I used to be scared of pigeons because they were always in the playground. I was afraid that they would peck the backs of my bare calves and the blood would gush out - as though my calves were just thin bags of blood that could be popped!

I Once belived That burrs were stiky so that birds would land on them and they would dry out and become more burrs So I always thought of it as something quite horrific actuall, and when they got stuck to my clothing I thought I had dead birds on me.
