BURBANK, Calif. (AP) -
Despite her new artificaial
beak, Beep the Goose
couldn’t even get second
billing on Johnny Carson’s
“Tonight” show.
Beep was upstaged by Tex
the Whooping Crane, a
neurotic bird who gets
excited only by human males.
Beep’s owner, Larry Day,
had hoped his bird could
strut her transplanted beak
on the “Tonight” show this
week.
But Carson’s staff already
had invited Tex, who refuses
to perform her mating dance
with other cranes, but
performed it with the human
director of the International
Crane Foundation in
Barbaboo, Wis., then laid and
hatched an artificially -
fertilized egg.
Day was not dismayed,
saying he hopes that as soon
as Beep is stronger she can do
some sort of benefit work for
crippled children.
