Lyrical: Chemo Birds: Notary's White Taped Partridge

Notary's White Taped Partridge

The small Notary's White Taped Patridge thrives in ecosystems that still rely on paper documentation.

Medical facilites are extremly fertile in this regard.  The White Taped is particulary fond of 4th generation xeroxed forms (whose image is slighly askew) such as pre-procedure release forms, Power of Attorney forms, or indeed any form that a patient is inclined to sign or date in the wrong place.

Named for the unusually strong, opaque, and useful excretion it makes through its beak, it used to be common when typewriters were common.

With the adult being much larger than size of a human thumb, the bird and its nest are easily overlooked. It can still be found, as shown, having built its nest out of collected shiny objects, usually a mass of paper clips.
