ROTFLMAO.. . . are you sure you don't do stand-up comedy in your spare time. Joe said: A similar plight was experienced by the KiKi bird just prior to its extinction. It flew in ever decreasing concentric circles until it flew up its own butt and disappeared forever. Not a pretty way to go ! Elaine, you are too young to remember when we had the KiKi birds. Beautiful colors, long slender body built for speed. I always thought the name and the bird came from Australia. Not so ! The bird was native to N. America and wasn't named until it was nearly extinct. I remember the last one I saw.......... I was deer hunting and wandered out into an area ravaged by forest fire. I spotted the bird circling just overhead and watched as the circles got smaller and smaller.Finally, the circle closed in and I watched as the bird flew up it's own butt and disappeared. I stood there, entranced by what I had just witnessed, when suddenly I heard a sound. As the bird disappeared he uttered....... Ki........Ki......... riced........ it's dark in here !!!! I knew immediately where the bird go it's name. Now you have the facts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old.
