The Twins

A couple from New Jersey rang in the New Year in a special way as they welcomed twins – but the babies won’t share the same birth date nor the same birth year.

Ezra was born first at 11.48pm on New Year’s Eve then his brother Ezekial was delivered 40 minutes later at 12.28am on New Year’s Day.

The brothers were born at Virtua Voorhees Hospital in South Jersey which said the parents were “thrilled” at the momentous occasion.

“Parents Eve and Billy are thrilled that their boys are healthy and will have a great birthday story to tell,” Virtua Health said.

Coincidentally, elder sibling Ezra shares his birthday with his father, also born on New Year’s Eve.

Meanwhile, two hospitals in Boston welcomed three baby girls exactly at the stroke of midnight, NBC Boston reported.

An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.

The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.

Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.

The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.

Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.

“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.

Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.

San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.

Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.

“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”

The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
