Title

The Parrots Egg.

Description

A letter addressed to the editor of the Glasgow News describing how a pet parrot, who has been in the readers family for 30 years, marked the occasion of its birthday by laying a nice white egg. The sender of the letter believes that this may be some sort of world record (presumably for the oldest parrot to lay an egg) and ends the letter by soliciting the help of the newspapers readers to establish whether it is or not.
