STARBYRD OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Starbyrd Definition
(Latin: Starbyrdus Musicas Psycoforoc).

Found mostly in European countries, but migration to the colder areas of the United States has been known. The American Starbyrd is also known as Starbyrd Hillyus Billyus. Starbyrds are renowned for their wide ranging and tuneful singing in the Psycoforoc genre and can be heard over great distances. They tend to stay in small groups of two or three without any specific leader and they travel long distances in their normal routine. They have a dislike for low lying areas and prefer to nest at the top of a tree. Only two or three species of Starbyrds remain and if spotted they should be treated with the utmost care and attention to save them from extinction.

"We really have some great players in this newsgroup. We have Craig Fall, Horst-Peter Schmidt, Graham Talbot a.k.a. Gat, Starbyrd. I want to thank all you guys for making such great music, and keeping the Byrds sound alive. We need one of you to hit the big time and get popular music back on its feet. Maybe someday we can do without American Idol, we got stars right here in alt.music.byrds."
