I can’t help singing the old
well-known English nursery rhyme when I watch this video....”Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing,
Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king?” Except, they are in a box!
The starlings are all grown up and have been put outside in their pre-release cage today! In a few days they will be soft released, food will always be supplied to give them a greater chance for survival. We are all pretty familiar with this little nursery rhyme from when we were children, but did you know that they would actually put birds in a pie as a great joke or form of entertainment?
Did you know that in medieval times they would actually do this! The way they made pie crusts was a little different than in present time. The crust was thick, and could be baked first, and would rise forming a pot, hence the term "pot pie." The lid would be removed from the pie, and the birds would then be set inside, the lid put back on, and then this wildly entertaining dish placed before the host of the party.
So these birds were not actually cooked in the pie. Cooks would get quite competetive at feasts, and try to outdo other lords and ladies' cooks. It is said that not only were birds baked into pies, but rabbits, frogs, dogs, dwarfs (who would pop out and recite poetry) and at one time a whole little musical group. Not unlike how we may have people pop out of a cake. Who knew?

An incubation switch at the American Kestrel nest box provides a spectacular example of the marked sexual dimorphism in this pair. Male American Kestrels have blue-gray wings, a mostly unbarred tail except for a black subterminal band and white to rufous tip, and pale buff to pinkish or orange underparts. Females have rufous wings barred with black, a rufous tail with black bands, and creamy to buff underparts that are heavily streaked with brown. ⠀
