As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

WADSWORTH, Ohio - An Ohio woman, who eats a salad nearly every day and makes spinach smoothies, has lost her appetite for her favorite vegetable after making a "fowl" discovery.

Inside an unopened bag of Dole spinach, Rose Carducci, 28, found what appears to be the leg of a bird with feathers still attached.

"As I started looking some more, I saw what looked like nails, like talons and realized, 'Oh my Gosh, this is part of a bird and was horrified." Carducci said.

The mother of two children ordered her groceries online from Buehler's in Wadsworth on Monday.

She's grateful that she never opened the package because she could have easily missed the bird part.

"If I would have found it making a smoothie or in a salad, I don't know what I would have done."

Dave Cleckner, Buehler's manager, said the store was alarmed by the discovery and contacted their wholesaler, Caito Foods out of Indiana.

Cleckner said store workers also inspected other similar produce on the shelves.

"It definitely was a concern for us, so that's why we looked at our product. We did not find anything on our end," Cleckner said.
