More memories of our feathered friends

It's amazing the memories that are stirred whenever we talk about the Educated Animals.

Here's an email from last week:

I really appreciated the picture of the educated animals. I tried to tell my wife about them but could not do it justice. One of my greatest memories is of my mother putting money in the chicken who played baseball stand. Mom hates birds (don't ask me) she is scared to death of them? The bird immediately went out to second base, did his/her daily constitutional and went right back to its change. The look on my mom's face was priceless. Thanks for the memories. See ya this summer.

I couldn't find a photo of the baseball-playing chicken, sorry to say.

Will Desmond the Drumming Duck do?
