Somehow, during its lifetime, the poor bird managed to ingest a lace handkerchief, a buttoned glove, a length of rope, a plain handkerchief (probably a man's), assorted copper coins, metal tacks, staples and hooks, and a four-inch nail - a step too far, and the cause of death.

Most birds are. Except parrots. And they're mean.
And chickens! They're not stupid. Not mine, anyway.
Well, yours are smarter than turkeys, anyway.
Damn! And think about how much less shit was dropped on beaches in those days! Think what birds have got in their bellies now!
