The Turnip
Charlottetown, PEI
December 16, 2010
A spokesperson for Charlottetown's large crow population announced today that the birds will offer a free Christmas concert, in an attempt to repair relations with city residents.
"The crows concede that they have overstayed their welcome in the past," said Edgar Nevermore, event organizer.
"We are extending a holiday olive branch," said Nevermore, holding a large twig that appeared to be from a white birch.
"We hope that in the spirit of the season, citizens of Charlottetown will join us in setting aside our mutual differences, and enjoy an early morning of song. We hope to build towards a meaningful dialogue in 2011."
The concert will be held at 4:45 am, December 22nd, at Victoria Park.
Prior to the show, the crows will accept requests for classic Christmas carols, though they decline to sing "Silent Night", due to a conflict of interest. Concert-goers are welcome to donate carrion at volunteer stations.
