Should rackling be an Olympic sport?

Rackling Competitor

Should rackling be an Olympic sport? if it was, Guyana would carry off all the golds.

For outsiders, this is one of the most mysterious aspects of the country. The sport is simple; you put a tiny bird in a cage and coax it to sing. And this is serious business too.

These birds change hands for a small fortune, and they are treasured like members of the family. For me, the strangeness of it all is part of the fun of this country.

Here in this huge wild space, you find the tiniest and tamest of sports.
