Dear Maryanna: 
Enclosed you will find an item of interest for the next droppings. 
The Frozen Bird Barf originated from our having to feed two Sooty chicks 
which we are raising. We get an over abundance of food from adults 
while banding so we freeze the fish that's left over and use it later. 
Thus the formation of the Sand Island Frozen Bird Barf Co. 
Also enclosed is the guarantee on the freezer. Be sure to read the 
first paragraph. We also send the bicycle guarantee, which we took the 
liberty of filling out!!! 
Best regards, 
Binion Amerson
