Appearances can be deceptive.

How do we know that the "Early Bird" wasn't actually up all night?

The early bird may get the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese

Among European birds called blue tits, the early bird gets more than a worm.

I don't think that you can make up this stuff.

Geez, and the nutty Left wants to change the name of the Grand Tetons?!

I don't mind them sagging a bit... but I draw the line when they turn blue.

Yup. It's the Blue Tits that have all the fun.

Let's not forget that the worm got up early too.

In Europe, the springtime dawn chorus includes the voices of male blue tits...

Nope. Not me. Not gonna touch it.

If that's from a country song, it's also from "A Private Affair" by a Canadian group called "Garfield" circa 1978. But it ain't country.

Older males start singing some 5 or 6 minutes earlier in the dawn chorus and attract more of the promiscuous females than younger males do

So, if I paint mine blue and sing at dawn, I will have to buy Vigra wholesale?
