Voodoo Bird
Today's story and sketch "by me" you see Earths foremost Ornithologist
Raymundo Rhamoan, (A persons who knows a lot about birds). Raymundo has searched many years, in 71 countries searching for the once thought
extinct Voodoo Bird. The Voodoo Birds extinct cousin the Dodo was also
a great wood carving species, but was not as good a flyer as his cousin
the Voodoo. The Dodo's demise started once upon a time when a Kentucky cave man walked up and snatched a slow Dodo, took it home to his cave girlfriend Sandy who fried it up, (the recipe is still used today, only using chicken instead of Dodo). In prehistoric times it was known as Sandy's Kentucky
Fried Dodo, but her recipe is a story for another time.
What saved the Voodoo was it's incredible get away speed of just under
eighty miles per hour. Another thing that makes the Voodoo interesting is
the Voodoo Birds mating ritual, it starts with the male finding a nice tree, he builds a comfortable nest in the top, then to attract a female,
he carves a tiki design into the trunk with his beak, chipping away for days, like a woodpecker, many designs take weeks to carve, once a female
finds the Tiki design she likes, she mates with the male, then he flies off
somewhere never to be seen again until the next mating season, normally
every 21 years. Until next time taa ta Rod
