Rare Songbird Culling Scandal Revealed by Dutch Farmer

Summary:

A quail farmer from the Netherlands has revealed that he illegally kept two extremely rare songbirds in his hen house. After a bird pest outbreak, he lost them both to mass poultry culling in 2003, and only managed to save one egg. Now the egg has been hatched, history is threatening to repeat itself, at the cost of a near-extinct Redscowl songbird. A preservationist uproar is imminent.

More can be read in the Songbird Scandal press release or the Offcial Redscowl Bluesingsky Guide.

Editor's note: more and more people in Western Europe are calling for legalization of poultry vaccination. Of course it's the humane thing to do....
