Zoo's Tawny Frogmouth Chick--Sign of Recession's End?

The Woodland Park Zoo tells us they have a new mouth to feed--a tawny frogmouth chick hatched last Thursday. They're pretty excited because Woodland Park Zoo is one of only four zoos to gotten some egg-fertilizing tawny-frogmouth-on-tawny-frogmouth action in the last six years.

Expert keeper staff artificially incubated the egg for 25 days (incubation is typically 28-30 days). Within an hour of hatching, staff returned the chick to the nest for the parents to take over parental care. The parents are attentive and protective of the chick and, based on the chick’s weight gain, they are doing a good job of feeding their chick.

If you're not familiar with the variety, it's likely because tawny frogmouths are native to Australia, Tasmania, and southern New Guinea. What does this have to do with the recession? Not a lot. But that doesn't stop anyone else from calling singular events indicators of a larger economic trend, so we're getting in on the action.
