A special thanks to A to the Power of 4 and Patricia from Down Under for providing input for Spizella's Cheep Thrills Bird Quiz. If you want to read all of the Spizella posts (in which Spizella expresses some very real bird concerns to Dick Costolo, the CEO of Twitter), you will find them on my Sparrow's Board on Pinterest. If you want to read all of the Sheldon Cooper posts (Spizella says he doesn't care two hoots for them and you shouldn't waste your time), you will find them on my Big Bang Theory Board on Pinterest.
P.S. 2: As always, thanks for reading and hope 2012 is going splendidly for you!
