Margaret Sparrow cares for a baby starling named Star who mimics her voice and speaks phrases. The bird, found after falling through a furnace vent on June 12, 1980, grew into a vocal pet that enjoys baths, raw beef treats, and cabbage-green speckled plumage while sparking household amusement and wildlife protection chatter.
Smithsonian researchers Led by Jim Lynch and Dennis Whigham monitored over 200 forest patches from 7 to 2500 acres in Maryland. The largest study of its kind links bird abundance to diverse forest structure rather than size and isolation alone, with resident species thriving in smaller isolated patches.
A humorous column argues the church Christmas bazaar lacks humor and mocks how bazaar chairmen are chosen from passive parishioners. The piece notes the selection process, whispers of support, and the expectation that chairs persuade others to join in despite reluctance.
A humorous roster lists Erma Bombeck themed remarks and names with roles at a bazaar including Lucille Frank at Craftsy, Evelyn Weiss at Pitch and Throw, Sonya Flipper at Cake Walk, Dee Dee Dormat at Nursery, Frances Firmway at Telephone, Evaline Rumschussle at Antique Booth, and Elaine Hensen in publicity. The piece uses playful jabs about spouses, talents, and social duties within the event context.
