### Google says ..
Wrens are known for having the loudest song of any bird in the UK, producing cascades of complex, high-pitched whistles and trills to establish and defend territory. A wren's song is often described as a jubilant, high-volume burst of sound, while a robin's song is melodious but less forceful



Apparently they are the only bird to be found in every single part of the British Isles .. warmest to coolest , highest to lowest, loudest to quietist . It seems odd for one so very tiny .

Strawberries red parts aren't actually the Fruity parts, it's the little seeds inside of the Strawberry that qualifies them as a Fruit.

What’s that other surprising phrase ?

Tomatoes are a fruit and ‘something’ are vegetables ?

…Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky in three days after watching a boxing match because the only acting jobs he could get were bit parts and [adult movies], and he was homeless for a while… the producers wanted Burt Reynolds to play the lead but Stallone refused, and accepted huge budget cuts to star in his own film…

Armadillos are regarded as virtual vermin in Florida … they dig huge holes and ruin gardens . We saw one lady chasing one down the street with her broom !

Interestingly they are growing in popularity in this country as pets- at last glimpse they were £600 each
