The following is an e-mail I received from Chris Cunningham, owner of the Wife Saver restaurant chain, regarding his grassroots campaign to change the state bird of Georgia from the Brown Thrasher to the chicken. I had corrected him on the fact that their website says there are no thrashers in Georgia in the winter. By the way, for those of you who were wondering if he was serious about this whole campaign thing - he is, it's not a joke. Good birding, Mark Greene Trenton, TN ===============================================================#yiv2129160832 #yiv634485112 #yiv1320873857 {height:100%;color:#000000;font-size:12pt;font-family:A ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: gimpchicken@xxxxxxxxxxx To: greensnake@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 22:39:21 +0000 (UTC) Subject: Flip the birds Mark, Thanks for the heads up on the thrasher info. We'll check out the websites and try to make everything correct. We are serious about changing the bird and were trying to have a little fun with the site at the same time. We are getting some statewide attention so who knows what might happen. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Have a good weekend. If you come to Augusta, try our fried chicken at any of 8 locations of Wife Saver. Voted best in Augusta for 28 straight years. Thanks, Chris Cunningham gimpchicken@xxxxxxxxxxx =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
