- 1957, Douglas Rigby, Desert happy:
- A target too flitsome for the other birds, it was an immense success with verdin who clung to it masterfully upside down and not a bit uneasy on that gyrating world, taking his fill and all the while full of warnings to potential intruders, giving vent to an intermittent and extremely loud robin-sized chirping.
