Throughout history, there have been many outstanding birds. Here are a few of them:
> Archimedes - the loyal pet owl of Merlin, who assists him in tutoring King Arthur
> Huginn & Muninn - the loyal Ravens of Odin, King of Asgard in Norse Mythology. They would fly around Midgard (Earth) and report what they saw back to their master, keeping him informed.
> Tom the Terrible Turkey - after being injured by a hawk in 2006, Tom was adopted as a pet. He would regularly terrorize his new neighbors, often trapping them in their cars while circling them menacingly. Eventually, one neighbor called the police, and Tom was tragically killed in a police shootout :(
> G.I. Joe - this American born pigeon became famous for his assitance in WWII via the United States Army Pigeon Service. When Allied troops lost radio contact and were unable to call off an air strike that would otherwise harm innocent civilians, they sent GI Joe to deliver the message, saving hundreds of lives in the process.
> Larry Bird - Born in 1956 in Indiana, Larry Bird rose to fame playing professional basketball for the Boston Celtics, with whom he won 3 consecutive MVP awards and 3 NBA championship awards. He also competed in the 1992 USA Olympic 'Dream Team.'
