Well ... if they have graduated up to birds, it seems as though they are getting smarter; I'll give them that.

Someone scream this story to PETA.
I’m going to have to call BS on this one.
For having been exploded, there is sure a lot left to this bird, like all of it. What next, mice with firecrackers?
What species is that? I mean I may need to be extra careful if I decide to go for a Big Year in 2015.
Police chick point?
“Well, have you heard about the bird?”
Well, it’s a lot cheeper ;-) than drones. Historical note, Persians did use homing pigeons for message sending if I remember correctly. Is this a Birdstastrophe?
So... they really want us to revise the old “bat bombs” from ww2?
Maybe they sent the birds draft numbers.
That does not look like a carcass in which a considerable explosion occurred. Also, taking out a flying bird by rifle? Possible, but difficult.
That looks like a trained falcon. Prominent leg band, radio tracker (not a GPS device attached to its head), I have seen this setup before on falcons or other domesticated raptor.
A research project somewhere has just lost a volunteer.
Typical falconry transmitter. You pay 20,000 for a bird, you want to know where it is. The leg band is very typical.
Someone just lost a pricey pet.
They've had enough.
OK, so the birds are NOT fed with ultra-spicy local cuisine & used AS bombers…
(Curryer Pigeons ;?)
In defense of civilization I’d prefer this ornery ornithological onslaught over Big Bird, Elmo, Mr. Hooper, the endless cast of AIDS “victims” and their fellow kiddie TV sodomites.
I’m cool with Ernie and Bert, though. At least they don’t try to shove it down our throats. Plus, heck: they’re monogamous, and funny.
For a sniper shooting the bird that exploded, it looks pretty whole to this Freeper.
That's All Folks!
The plumage looks like a hen pheasant. Some kind of upland gamebird. Do they have those in the ME?
