Corrections:

A Yardbird isn't a chicken. From Wickipedia:

1 : a soldier assigned to a menial task or restricted to a limited area as a disciplinary measure
2 : an untrained or inept enlisted man

Charlie Parker (the sax Charlie, not the banjo one) was nicknamed "Yardbird," though I don't recall why.

And "Chickasay" is "Chickasaw" (an Indian tribe) in local dialect.

That is all.
