A "sculpture" sold in Stuckey'
s gas stations in the 1970s. The "
bird" was composed of a dried piece of dung with toothpick legs, googly eyes, little feather wings and a plastic beak.
These "sculptures" stood upon a small plastic base that featured the words "turd
bird" preceded by the name of the state in which one purchased the item. Thus, if traveling through Montana, one could purchase a Montana Turd
Bird, and when one reached Wyoming, one could stop at a Stuckey's and purchase a Wyoming Turd
Bird. The poosibilities were endless.
I've been to all 48 contiguous states and I have a Turd
Bird from every one of them to prove it.
I'm so depressed, I just found out they
don't have Stuckey's in Hawaii. I so wanted a Hawaiian Turd
Bird.
