Cooking Instructions?
According to the Knight-Ridder News Service, the inscription on
the metal bands used by the U.S. Department of the Interior to
tag migratory birds has been changed. The bands used to bear
the address of the Washington Biological Survey, abbreviated:


WASH. - BIOL. - SURV.

Until the agency received the following letter from an Arkansas
camper:

Dear Sirs:
While hunting last week I shot one of your birds.
I think it was a crow. I followed the cooking
instructions on the leg tag and I want to tell
you, it was horrible.

The bands are now marked FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE.

(Came across this several years ago, and I don't have a link.)
