Fowl Crimes

Or tales of the feathered mafia. First up, the bird who called wolf: New Jersey police kicked the door in when they heard a woman’s voice repeatedly calling out, “Help me!”. Problem is, it wasn’t a woman.

But instead of a damsel in distress, officers found a caged cockatoo with a convincing call.

Next, the avian thugs trying to take over New Zealand:

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – A gang of unruly teenage bush parrots have wrought havoc at a bird sanctuary in New Zealand by using their powerful beaks to destroy nesting boxes.

The native Kaka parrots — juvenile birds that haven’t reached sexual maturity — have torn off nesting box doors and vandalized the bird homes, sanctuary conservation officer Matt Robertson said Friday.

And finally, arsonist birds threaten North Dakota college:

WAHPETON, N.D. – A bird’s nest in a chimney is believed to have caused a fire that damaged the roof of Schuett Hall at the North Dakota State College of Science here Wednesday night, a spokeswoman said.

Obviously, we have a bird crime spree brewing.

    I was suspicious that you had been bought off by the Animal Uprising. I am relieved to see that this is not the case.
