Little Bird Wows Judges on ‘Australia’s Got Talent’
Little Bird Wows Judges on ‘Australia’s Got Talent’
Pips, a Willie Wagtrail from Sydney, Australia, blew away judges during a recent taping of Australia’s Got Talent. The bird sang “Di Quella Pira” from Verdi’s Il Trovatore.
“That’s a very difficult aria to sing,” said opera critic Miles Bernwhistle. “It’s also a tenor – most birds of his size are more in the countertenor range, so it was surprising to hear it come booming out of him.”

Dog Will Only Watch Movies Starring Dogs
Dog Will Only Watch Movies Starring Dogs
Cali, a pug from Greenpoint in Brooklyn, refuses to watch any movie that doesn’t star a dog.
Air Bud? Awesome. Homeward Bound? Yes. All Dogs Go to Heaven? Of course. Lady and the Tramp? You betcha. Old Yeller, Marley & Me, Benji, even Cujo are all in his Netflix queue.
But try to rent Pulp Fiction or Inception and he’ll flip out.
“I tried to bring home The Artist recently, thinking that because it had a dog in it that would be okay,” said roommate Terrence O’Donnell, “but Cali wouldn’t have any of it. It has to star a dog, or it’s a no go.”

Kitten Too Busy for This Whole ‘Playtime’ Thing
Kitten Too Busy for This Whole ‘Playtime’ Thing
A Persian kitten named Harold remains cautious when it comes to playing, according to a number of eye-witnesses.
“He’s got a few pieces of string and this ball, but he just kinda stares at them,” says Jessica Flores, a source familiar with the situation. “He’s so busy at the office, I’m not sure he really sees a lot of value in playtime.”
Playtime can be valuable for young cats, according to kitten psychologist Geoffrey Eichner. “It hones their paw-eye coordination, and is generally very relaxing,” says Dr. Eichner, who published an August study on feline play in the journal Kittens Today. “It’s strange that Harold is disinterested in a lot of the fun activities of his peers. But, maybe his time is better spent making mad bank. It’s hard to argue with that kind of logic.”
