The Postal Service has a form letter that its carriers deliver to homeowners whose dogs are impeding mail delivery, warning that they must take responsibility. But what happens when the animal bothering -- attacking, actually -- a mail carrier is a wild bird? The same letter goes out, the Tulsa World reports, with the words "your dog" crossed out and "mockingbird" written in. The only problem, of course, is that none of the homeowners in the bird's neighborhood can actually do anything about the problem.
