The best of my roles was as Travis Coates in Old Yeller (1957), Wilby Daniels in The Shaggy Dog (1959), and Ernst Robinson in Swiss Family Robinson (1960).
I also played the title character in The Misadventures of Merlin Jones (1964).

CRAP !!
The most numerous are the red-billed queleas, seed-eating finches that occur in gigantic feeding flocks of tens of thousands, sometimes millions of birds. Some of these feeding flocks are so large that it takes over four hours for them to pass.
The total world population of these small sparrow-like birds is estimated to be in the order of 100,000 million, putting it comfortably in line for the title of the world's most numerous bird.
 
OK, I sucked so bad today I'm not going to tell you my score. I will say though that I enjoyed reading the little trivia bit about the birds at the end. I think it would be incredibly cool to see a flock take a couple of hours to fly over. Thanks LT. (Oh and thanks for the recipes you sent, I hadn't planned a party, but my girls are asking about one now so I might have to use those recipes!)
