Mumble a Sparrow
Mumble a Sparrow was a popular sport at medieval through Georgian era fairs. A cock sparrow whose wings had been clipped was put into the crown of a hat. A man with his arms tied behind his back attempted to bite off the sparrow's head. He was usually unsuccessful due to the man angry pecks in the face he received.
