Joe from Avon sent along this photo of his opera-loving chicken, Arthur, perching on his dollhouse. Listeners to our 7:25 Pet News on WCLV may recall that when Arthur was a youngster and thought to be a hen, he was found by Joe in the garden. Joe nurtured the hen until its gender became clear through early-morning crowing.
Arthur was kept in the shed near the laundry room where Joe played the Metropolitan Opera on WCLV Saturday afternoons. One afternoon, during the "Queen of the Night" aria in "The Magic Flute," Arthur commenced crowing, clucking, and carrying on to such an extent Joe knew immediately that Arthur was a fine-arts chicken.
And such a handsome fellow.
