In the words of the Artist: “This Black Bird had his tongue split, making it possible for him to learn to speak. He oftentimes would speak to groups, an after dinner exhibition of great novelty. The bad thing is that he drank during dinner and thereafter, had difficulty staying balanced, as you see.”
