I Agree Wholeheartedly with the Sparrow

By Corey • May 24, 2007 • 7 comments

At a press conference today an unidentified sparrow pooped on the warmonger in the White House. You can watch a video of him trying to wipe it off here.

At least something in Washington is speaking for the American people. And my favorite comment on the video? “If only elephants could fly.”

Where is that sparrow on the FBI’s most wanted list? Did the terrorist threat level go up?

Hahaha… too funny. Maybe it was a HOSP and he’ll send the troops out to get rid of them.

Incidentally, I was trying to get him in the face. I need to work on my aim!

Birds in the Mossad?

Last year, vigilant Saudi Arabian officials detained an Israeli spy vulture yet apparently failed to foil the “Zionist espionage plot.” How else to explain the highly suspicious European Bee-Eater Turkish authorities are currently investigating. Damning evidence includes an Israeli bird band and unusually large nostrils. Birders of the world: if you see something, say something. (Hat-tip to Suzie Gilbert!)

Too Many Nene?

Hawaii’s state bird, the endangered goose known as the Nene, has recovered from a population of a mere 30 birds in 1952 to over 2,000 today. The problem is that they seem to find the area around Lihue Airport irresistible so they have to be moved. Clearly there aren’t too many Nene but more habitat is needed.
