Tidbits from the www in one neat little package. ‘Cause I’m nice like that…

Magpies join the clever bunch as scientists learn they can recognise themselves in the mirror. A sign of intelligence, plus I’m sure they get also excited when seeing the shiny things, ooo treasure!

I got to meet this lovely chap the other day, the new breed of ‘welebrity’. Check out his blog and kerazy YouTube presence.

A nation of Eastenders addicts pay their respects to Wellard the dog. Yeah he was cute, but d’ya reckon we can retire animals from the set once and for all? Let me know your thoughts on this one, I’m curious…

Ever wondered what this blogger munches on for brekkie? No, thought not, but I thought I’d share the best way to start the day anyway. Mmmm…

Does salmon make you gag? It will now.

Did you hear the one about birds having regional accents? Sounds funny, but it’s no joke. If you need any further proof that birds have personality, intelligence and aren’t just flapping vegetables, studies have shown that birds have dialects and cultural differences depending on where they’re from.

Before you head off to read ‘the science bit’, here’s what would you’d hear if you eavesdropped on a British birds’ conversation:

Essex bird (geddit?): Oi mate! Gimme summa those nuts, innit.
Scottish bird: Aye, keep your hat on wee lass, I dinnae hear ye the first time.
Newcastle bird: Ay, ay, camm down, camm down.
Welsh bird: Ah dew dew, gimme some of them nuts butt or I’ll peck ew eyes out.
London bird: Cor blimey guvnor, keep your Alan Whickers on. This meet-up has gone a bit Pete Tong. I’m buggering off daaan the pub to get mi own nuts.

Ahhh, the mind wanders…
