Day 5 of our seven-part April 23 series.
April 23, 1961. Carnegie Hall. Judy Garland walks onto the stage after Hollywood had written her off and Hollywood had counted her out. She delivers what is still called the greatest night in show business history.
We tell this one today for every bird in this sanctuary. The bird that bites. The screamer. The one passed home to home with a reputation. Too much. Too loud. Too much trouble.
Then quietly they get their night. Nobody writes an album about it. There is no Carnegie Hall for parrots. But every bird in here knows what it feels like to be handed off as a problem and then quietly seen as themselves.
The birds know. And we know.
Day 6 tomorrow: April 23, 1985 — New Coke launches and the country says no thanks. We are using it to talk about why we have never updated how we do wildlife rescue.
