My name is Jason Todd. And this is how I died.
-----------------------------------
It was another day in Gotham City, when I had located the Jokers hideout. I can't contact Bruce as he's busy at Arkham. I took my motorcycle to take out the Joker. I reach the location and get ready to go in when...
Joker: Surprise!
Joker nocks me out with chloroform.
I wake up in pain, when Joker beats me with a crowbar.
Joker: Ah Birdbrain, your finally awake! How do you feel...Jason. HAHAHAHA!
I kick Joker in the stomach but he moves to quick and shoots my leg.
Joker: HHAHAHAHAHA!
He goes into a closet and pulls out a camera and films me in pain.
Joker: So Batman, how do you take this? Your stupid sidekick dying. Hahahahaha!
-------------------------
10 minutes later, Bruce returns to the Batcave and Alfred is horrified.
Alfred: Master Bruce! Oh no..
Batman: What is it Alfred?
Alfred: Sir, it's Jason. Jokers tortured him.
Batman: What! No! Alfred give me the location now!
He hops on his Batcycle and rides out.
Bruce is only 1 minute away from Jason when... BOOM!!!
Batman: Jason!
Bruce reaches the location to see Jason die.
Batman: Jason! No!
He reaches Jason and holds him in his arms when he noticed a burning joker card. Crying, Bruce says,
"Joker. You will pay for this. I swear Jason, Barbara, Jim and everyone Joker harmed. I will take you down!

Cute, but very birdbrained , they have to be "rescued" every year!

The sixth, and as it turned out final, pantomime to be produced by Keith Marsden and Geoffrey Rundle at St. John’s Parish Church was announced in the December 1955 edition of Ingrow Parish Church Messenger. It was to be ‘Dick Whittington’. This time it was to be performed for eight nights on Friday 20th January and Saturday 21st January 1956 then on the following Monday to Saturday nights. Once again it was staged under the patronage of the Mayor and Mayoress of Keighley – now Alderman Percy Taylor and his wife.
The action took place in various locations around London, as well as aboard the Good Ship “Heaving Stomach” and the exotic climes of Morocco. Geoffrey played Clarissa Crumpet and Keith played Idle Jack. Derek Lund played King Rat and Stanley Peckover played Alderman Fitzwarren, while Joan Scott played his daughter Alice. Marilyn Marsden was Fairy Moonbeam, Anne Burgess played the Summer Queen, Linda Shuttleworth played Tommy the cat, Alan Park was Captain Fungus-Face, Ernest Marsden was the Emperor of Morocco and Terry Marsden had the dual roles of Mr Birdbrain and the Grand Vizier.

This is one of the things that will be in the ReUse Project Exhibition!
If you were a male Orchard Oriole and didn't recognize what this lady is saying, you're a birdbrain.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
A happy animorph poses with his new poultrified party animal body! As an animorph, my body undergoes a horrific and painful transformation in order to change me into Cluckers. Shape shifting is an awful experience, both inside and out. Especially if you wanna become a giant birdbrain with the body of a bird.
Per tradition, several members of my family, as well as Marsha and her mom, had New Years Eve lunch at the Sidetrack Restaurant in Ypsilanti's Depot Town. The restaurant is very popular and sits at the main intersection in Depot Town This is the westernmost of three historic storefronts(this one built in 1865) occupied by the Sidetrack at the east end ofthe Depot Town business district. The Sidetrack very recently acquired this building to expand their restaurant space, and the entrance still has the name of the former occupant, the "BirdBrain" shop.
I decided to take some pictures today during lunch. Almost immediately after getting out of my truck, I heard a pecking noise. I turned around and this blue bird was attacking my rear view mirror. It would attack the mirror, then land on it, then land on the seal on the bottom of the window, then attack the mirror, then land on the mirror, so on and so forth ad infinitum. It even continued when I went back to the truck (the other side) twice, once to get my TCON-17 teleconverter, then again to get more batteries. I took photos of this process for fifteen minutes before I finally had to go back to work.
I was taking photos of Goldfinches now wearing their bright summer yellows when to my surprise and delight this stunning Baltimore Oriole landed right into the frame of my camera. The six photos are in sequence except for the last and show him trying to figure out how to get the birdseed out of the feeder. He was not able to figure it out, and kept pecking at the seed visible in the plastic tube, but never discovering the opening in the tube were he could feed. I guess this lends credit to the term Birdbrain, LOL.
I had not previously seen him in my area but I have seen him once again since taking these photos in late April. I am hoping he is raising a family in the area.

The scenic artist was John Williams of Hertfordshire, who paid a visit to Kensington Museum in order to research the actual appearance of London’s Cheapside area in the 14th century. Once again costumes were hired from W. A. Homburg Ltd. of Leeds. To match the increased ambition for this production, the programme was expanded from four pages to eight! Tickets went on sale from 19th December 1955 and once again they cost two shillings and six pence for adults and one shilling and six pence for children. All seats for each of the eight performances were booked in advance.
The last performance was on Saturday 28th January 1956. This time there was no incumbent Vicar of Ingrow to give thanks to the cast and crew as the Reverend Miller had moved on from St. John’s in November 1955. His replacement, the Reverend George Speller wasn’t appointed until April 1956. When Reverend Speller arrived, his perception of the pantomimes was very different to that of his predecessor.

Once more Keighley News arranged photographs of the cast and the paper’s review was published in the Saturday 28th January edition: “With the financial success of the production assured, attention was concentrated on the quality of the entertainment, and the reaction of the audience showed that the same high standards of previous years had been maintained. Comedy has always been the keynote of these Ingrow pantomimes and again this was much in evidence, the pace never being allowed to flag.”

Birdbrain has been determinedly broody now for almost two weeks. On Sunday we stopped by our local farm/supply (it's a working farm and a farm supply - very cool place) to see if we could buy some fertile eggs. They told me to come back in the early morning and they would hook me up.
This morning I picked up 6 fertile eggs. I fed Birdbrain a bit to convince her to leave her nest, removed the two ping pong balls and replaced them with the six fertile eggs.
Anecdata says if a hen has been broody for a week or more, the likelihood of her abandoning the new clutch of eggs is very low. I'm a little worried, but she was sitting on them when I left.
There's a school of thought that says: leave the hen with the flock and let her do everything there and there's a school of thought that says move the hen and eggs to a different location within view of the flock.
One reason they suggest moving the hen is that usually the hen broods in the favorite nesting box and then the hens squabble over it and can break the developing eggs. In our cases, all of the hens moved to the new favorite box on the complete opposite site of the coop. So that's not an issue.
Another reason is the food issue -- since the chicks will need chick food but the hens are usually on layer food. Well. We feed grower food and have free-choice oyster shell, so that's not too much of an issue. The laying hens will still get their free oyster shell the way they do now. They just might get fatter on the chick feed they steal!
Also, sometimes the other hens will pick on the broody. Ours are not, I suspect because they have plenty of space in the coop.
There are other logistical issues, like tiny chicks trying to get up and down the ramp and if I let them all out to free range, the chicks are much more likely to be nabbed by a predator (including ones like crows and cats who generally won't touch full-size hens). But for now, we're going to try it in the regular coop and see how it goes.
Fingers crossed. If it doesn't work out, it's $3 and hopefully not too much rotten egg to clean up! I will NOT (I swear) be getting an incubator if Birdbrain abandons these. I did order a decent egg candler though. I'll try to candle at 10 days but otherwise I am going to leave Birdbrain alone. She knows what she's doing. She certainly knows more about this than I do!
[in the pic, that's Badass investigating the new eggs. Of course. She runs to me every time I open a nesting box. My pet chicken. ]
