Do birds pee? Do they fart? Why is bird poop white? Answers to these questions and many more. Plus, of course, funny photos of birds pooping.
This unused box file flat came from a retired General Foods employee. A few great lots of early 70's (and a couple late 60's) packaging file copies from General Foods recently hit Ebay. I won a couple of them, and this is from one of the lots I didn't win. The winner of the lot, Scott S. was gracious enough to loan me his items so that I could scan them and share them here. Thanks, Scott!
