Just a bit of fun: today on "Ask Me Another," an NPR pop-culture quiz
show, I found out that the fine and fascinating actor Lily Taylor is an
avid birder! During the course of her interview, she was asked if there
were any unpopular birds. After defending some birds and categories of
birds called out by the audience (vultures, Blue Jays, "pigeons"), she
finally got around to naming House Sparrows and then explained why they
are deservedly un-liked on this continent. Much to my relief, after
sitting there and yelling, "HOUSE SPARROWS!!!!!" at my radio!!
