State Bird Reconsidered After Latest Wren Attack
COLUMBIA, SC—Gov. Mark Sanford spoke out Monday in favor of changing his state’s bird from the Carolina wren to “anything else” following the ninth unprovoked wren attack this year. “In light of last week’s events, I strongly feel the wren is no longer a good representative for the state of South Carolina,” Sanford said, referring to Friday’s tragic dive-bombing and pecking incident at a Myrtle Beach preschool. “Maybe it’s time we recognize one of our more docile birds, like the robin or the magnolia warbler.” Sanford advised anyone hearing the wren’s cries of “tea-kettle, tea-kettle” to run for cover immediately.
