Louis Wain Fact #74:
Wain assisted in the discovery of a new subspecies of tit bird in the pine woods of County Sligo, Ireland. The Irish Coal Tit (Periparus Ater Hibernicus) was discerned from the British variant by noted ornithologist Collingwood Ingram, a close friend of Wain by a yellow tinge on its cheeks and underside. Wain helped deliver specimens to the press to have it formally identified.

We are pouter pigeons - can't you hear us coo?
Fleet of wing are we. Tu whit, tu whit, tu whoo!
We can carry messages through the cloudy skies,
But we fear you like us best when made into pies.
