WHAT WE DO:

CHBB provides accounting, tax, audit and business advisory services to owner-managed businesses.

HOW WE DO IT:

Combined with service and value, we use accounting information to help our clients grow and reach their goals.

This is for the birds ...

• The bee hummingbird is the bird that lays the tiniest egg on the planet. Its egg measures slightly less than 0.5″ x 0.25″ and weighs only 0.02 oz.

• The red-billed Quelea is the most common wild bird on the planet, with an estimated adult breeding population of 1.5 billion pairs.

It is primarily found in Sub-Saharan Africa, and a single flock can contain thousands of birds. The chicken is the most prevalent nonwild bird.

• The beta-carotene in their crustacean and plankton diet gives the flamingos their pink hue.

• Flamingos stay together for the rest of their lives. Some couples have been together for 50 years or more.

• Fieldfare birds have a unique method of attacking an opposing bird. They surround it and force it to fall to the ground. The Fieldfares then take to the air and defecate on the bird.

• The ostrich lays the world’s largest egg. It is 7″ x 5″ in size and weighs 3 pounds. The kiwi, on the other hand, lays the largest egg for the size of the mother, which is a third of the bird’s weight. It is 5″ long and weighs up to 1 pound. This is the equivalent of an ostrich laying a 40-kilogram (88-pound) egg.

• A woodpecker’s tongue can be up to 4″ long, depending on the species. It stores its long tongue by folding it up and inserting it into a specific hole on the back of its neck, where it may be sandwiched between the skull and the skin.

• The seagulls in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 film The Birds were fed a combination of wheat and whiskey to keep them from flying too much.

• The excrement of the Fieldfare bird can kill an enemy bird.

TAX TIPS RRSP CONTRIBUTION LIMIT

Earned income will not be taken into consideration for determining your RRSP contribution room unless it’s reported on a tax return. It is important to note that taxpayers under the age of 18 can accumulate RRSP contribution room even though they are too young to own an RRSP at the present time. It is therefore important for them to report their income from summer jobs on a tax return even though there may be no other reason to do so. ®

Q:

Is Tina Fey working on any new shows? Did the one about the mayor get canceled? I really loved “30 Rock,” and I’m hoping she’ll do a reboot of it someday.

— S.L. It was recently announced that Fey and her former “Saturday Night Live” Weekend Update coanchor, Amy Poehler, will be going on a comedy tour together. Since they are very busy women, they only have time for four cities, at least for now. According to Deadline.com, they’ll kick it off with their first performance on April 29 in Washington, D.C., then on to the improv capital of the world, Chicago, on May 29. From there, Fey and Poehler will appear at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway on June 9 and will cap off their tour in Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena on June 10.

The Tina Fey & Amy Poehler: Restless Leg Tour is calling itself a celebration of “thirty years of friendship with an evening of jokes, iconic stories and conversational entertainment.” Another pair of comedy legends, Steve Martin and Martin Short (who star in Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building”), did a similar stage tour last year. Incidentally, Fey had a recurring role on their series as well.

There aren’t any plans for a “30 Rock” reunion, which would prove especially difficult given star Alec Baldwin’s recent legal troubles. Her most recent creation, “Mr. Mayor,” starring Ted Danson, was canceled after two seasons.

Despite recently striking out, I’m sure it won’t be long before Fey hits another creative home run. *** When does the new season of “The Masked Singer” begin?

I usually catch it midway through, and I want to watch it from the beginning this time. — L.A. Season nine of the hit singing competition show began on Feb. 15 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox. Hopefully, you caught the commercials during the Super Bowl and don’t miss any episodes, but if you do, you can catch encore episodes via OnDemand, FOX NOW, Hulu and Tubi.

Tina Fey According to “Entertainment Weekly,” this season’s theme nights include Abba Night, DC Superhero Night and ’80s Night. Returning panelists include Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg and Robin Thicke.

Also, expect some star cameos. *** I read a rumor that Sheryl Lee Ralph didn’t really sing at the Super Bowl — that she lip-synced instead. Doesn’t she have a fantastic voice? — U.J. Yes, long before she won an Emmy for her comedy chops in the sitcom “Abbott Elementary,” Sheryl Lee Ralph was nominated for a Tony Award for her powerful vocals in Broadway’s “Dreamgirls.” After she wowed ticketholders at the Super Bowl with her rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” viewers at home wondered if she lip-synced the lyrics instead of singing live. The following day, Ralph neither confirmed nor denied, telling “The Hollywood Reporter,” “Does it matter? …

No. Thank you.”

Someone dropped their Scrabble game right in the middle of my road.

Well, that’s the word on the street.

My dog ate all of my Scrabble tiles.

He left messages all over the house for days after that.

Sonny and Cher were playing a game of Scrabble when Cher asked him, “What tile did you pick?” ... “I’ve got U, babe.”

I had the letters D and O at the end of my Scrabble game.

I really had to try and make do.

Asked by Pipeline Online on Feb. 17 what the panel would be looking at, Yager’s answer was simple: “Everything.”

He added “The premier has a strong interest in decarbonization and the energy transition.”

Yager’s writings, for Energy Now, the Canadian Energy Centre, and Pipeline Online in recent years have been unapologetically in favour of continued oil and gas development and exploration, and critical of those who assail the industry and its importance.

Tony Toto and his wife, Frances, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, are celebrating 57 years of marriage, WFMZ-TV reported in a feelgood Valentine’s Day story. “We have been blessed that we had all these years,” Tony said, noting “that one time when we had a rough time.” Yeah, that was the time in 1983 when Frances hired teenaged hitmen five times to kill Tony. “I don’t think I was thinking straight,” Frances said. “It was like it was a lovehate kind of a thing.” Of course, the murder attempts weren’t successful, and Frances and the young hitmen were arrested.

She spent four years in prison, but their love never wavered. A feature film called “I Love You to Death” was made about their troubles, and they became minor celebrities, traveling to movie premieres and giving interviews. Tony and Frances got counseling and committed to better communication, and decades later, have a long marriage to show for their efforts.

It’s Come to This

In what prosecutor Owen Beale called an “organized criminal matter,” Joby Pool, 32, pleaded guilty to theft and criminal damage in Kidderminster, England, magistrates court, The Guardian reported. His crime? Pool broke into a warehouse on Feb. 11 and towed away a trailer with about 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs, valued at about $37,000. He didn’t get very far; when police stopped him, he “walked toward (them) with his hands up.”

“This clearly wasn’t spur-of-the-moment offending,” Beale said.

“You don’t just happen to learn about a trailer with that kind of value being available.” The “Easter bunny,” as police dubbed him, will be sentenced in March to about two years in jail.

A 2 year old kid gets into a stack of board games. And before his parents notice, he has them all open and pieces everywhere. The folks clean up the mess but soon realize that there are pieces missing from the Battleship game.

They rush the kid to the hospital, and sure enough, x-rays show he has swallowed some pieces. The doctor finds an aircraft carrier and two smaller boats in the kids intestines. The doc is especially worried about the carrier, as it is larger and has sharp corners.

The boy is admitted and given medicine to help move things along and spends the night under observation.
