Not So Smart Birds

Among the wide variety of items we discussed Wednesday on the "Dave & Dave Show" was a report from the Minnesota D-N-R that not all birds head south for the winter.  Some hearty birds, including robins, will elect to stay the winter and feed on left over fruit and bird seed put out by concerned residents while the rest of the flock heads to the tropics.  I think the old fruit may be clouding the judgement of these birds when they suffer in the Duluth area cold this week instead of sunning on the sand and using the Gulf of Mexico as a giant bird bath.   We also found out that Oregon voters approved raising the taxes on the rich to help solve their budget problems and officials in China may crack down on restaurants that offer cats and dogs on the menu.  On Thursday we hope to talk with a member of the Duluth jury that found Philbert Barnes guilty of second degree murder this week.   Other interesting topics are also on tap each weekday with "Dave & Dave" from 9 to 10 a-m on KDAL 610.
