FOUR OAKS, N.C. -- Another bird has joined the chicken in a Bradford pear tree in the town of Four Oaks.

Earl the rooster has joined Pearl in a Bradford pear tree.

Last month, WRAL reported about the chicken, Pearl, who has been in the tree for months.

Now Pearl has a boyfriend, a rooster named Earl. WRAL found Pearl and Earl today stretching their chicken legs on the ground, but they spend most of their time in the tree.

Who knows -- maybe one day soon there will be more than a pair of birds in that pear tree.

"Chicken in a Pear Tree" That could be a title of a Bluegrass song. It has the right rhythm

I've never seen nothin
as strange as this was
dog chased the rooster
all over the place

out back in the fruit trees
a ruckus you bet
rooster tried flyin
got up in the tree

there he's still sittin
for two days or three
he's just sitting waiting
for that dog to return

Ohhhhhh

chicken in a pear tree
ain't comin down
chicken in a pear tree
ain't comin down...........


OK, you provide the music.
