New Anti-bird Measures on all Airplanes

By Corey • February 9, 2009 • 1 comment

In a rapid and rather disturbing decision, the Federal Aviation Administration has decided to immediately implement new anti-bird measures on all airplanes in the wake of the recent near-tragedy in New York City. The bold decision, derided by anti-government right-wingers as “big government run amok” will be fully implemented within two months. Exactly what is this bold new policy?

Adapted from a widely-forwarded email. Does anyone know who came up with this? If so, I would like to attribute it. Hope you enjoyed it!

That’s a classified photo from the government’s Operation Purina file. You’ve heard of “cow-catchers” on the front of trains: this is a “bird cat-chow.”

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.
