Birdwoman of Back Creek: Cyreal Wilson and Orphy the Sparrow
Cyreal Wilson, a former U S Geological Survey editor now living on a five acre plot between Big North Mountain and Little North Mountain, raises Orphy an orphaned English sparrow rescued in 1973. Orphy lives in a bedroom cage with a towel covered bed, two water baths, a dirt pile, and a window seat. Cyreal and Orphy rely on a special drug developed by a local veterinarian to treat egg binding, keeping the bird dependent on human care. Cyreal hopes for kinder treatment of animals and teaches that being kind to animals leads to kindness to people.

McDonnell Douglas engineers contended that the slower speed hindered recovery from a stall.
