1952 was a great year, right fellas.
Paul1405,
God no, you were hatched then !

To paraphrase Hans Christian Andersen -
no matter when or where you're born
in a duck yard, or in a comfortable nest,
as long as you are hatched from a swan's egg
that's what matters.

Foxy,
Well, isn't it the Swan that is the elitist in the Bird-World ? At least that what I always thoght after all, there's even an Opera about Swans but I haven't heard of an Opera about Vultures ! ;-)

indyvidual,

There are many birds in opera and literature.
Your local library would be a good place to start.

Foxy,
Australian Libraries don't cater for non-leftists !

indyvidual,

I don't want to insult your intelligence by accepting
that you really believe what you just said.

Public libraries are among this country's most popular
institutions, providing free and equitable access to
vast collections of books, films, music, and much more.

Libraries nurture endeavours of all kinds, providing a
place for people of all persuasions to write, create,
learn, engage deeply, and gain knowledge or craft in
any field. Libraries play a fundamental role in
ensuring that everyone is included in their local, state,
or national cultural life.
