I’m bringing my 84-year-old mom. We are both Christians and would be offended by anything for ‘mature audiences’. Please explain. B. King Alberta […]

Dear Bird Talk, I read with interest two letters in Bird Talk Fall 2008 Edition. The first by Stanley Knight. My comments on his story are as follows. I retired from the Air Force after 22 years. By chance, not design, I wound up in B.C., as I had one job to go to when […]

Dear Bird Talk, Re: the article ‘And the survey says’ by J. Ross Quigley. In this article, Mr Quigley states the following statistics. Quote: 80% are married, 3.5% are living common law and, just so you know, 0.65% live an alternate lifestyle. Unquote. What do you mean ‘just so you know’? Why didn’t you just […]
