The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

This story reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's Birds movie; it's a tad creepy.

It seems a 61 year old man in California was found with 300 sick and dead birds in his house. Upon the discovery, the man was operating on a pigeon that he had sedated with vodka. Animal control found droppings everywhere inside the home and about 120 dead pigeons in boxes and bags alongside his house.

The man was reported by PETA and the remaining birds were euthanised because they were either sick or malnourished.

First of all, I'll bet PETA only snitched on the man because they were jealous of the man hogging so many birds. Although it doesn't say who did the euthanising, PETA probably also narced on the man because they were itching to euthanise some more animals.

What was the guy's intention of having so many birds, anyhow? What he planning on creating a super bird? Maybe he was going to stitch bird parts together to make a Frankenstein bird; or perhaps, he thought by putting a whole bunch of birds together, he could bring pterodactyls back into existence.

So, I guess we have to add to the joke about the old spinster with 40 cats. Now we can say the 60-something year old man with 300 birds.
