Why Does a Bird Sing? by da-AL

“A bird doesn’t sing because he has an answer, he sings because he has a song.”

From “A Cup of Sun,” by American poet and children’s book author, Joan Walsh Anglund (born c. 1926). She’s sold over 45 million books worldwide.

President Obama and the U.S. Postal Service misattributed this quotation to Maya Angelou. All the same, it’s a great thought.

Here’s one of the sounds that ostriches make.

    1. great one, Lloyd — the Andy Taylor character as well as Opie were always full of wonderful lines. I recently cut cable so have been watching lots of his shows as well as MASH 🙂
