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.

Puns fly after bird is rescued from chimney


13:56Saturday 04 April 2015

A TRAPPED bird did not ruffle the feathers of Worthing firefighters.

In fact, they used the opportunity to have a bit of fun and come up with every pun and bird reference they could think of.

The call came in around 7pm last night, when a magpie, dubbed Martin, dropped down the chimney of a house in Cheviot Road, Durrington.

Posting on the Worthing Fire Station Facebook page this morning, the crew said: “We were going to Tweet this but decided that putting Tit here would be more of a Hoot.

“Last night at around 7pm, Martin the Magpie got his feathers in a ruffle when he dropped Down a chimney of a house in Cheviot Road.

“Fowl play was not suspected but we did suspect Martin had been playing Chicken. Or he was a Raven lunatic.
