Hmmm...I went to your link and got some schooling. My mistake. Maybe my story is related to starlings. I’ll have to research it when I have time. I’ll send you a link if I am successful.
Aha! Found it! My recollection was a little faulty; it was the starling, and it was a group and not one guy that introduced it.

In 1890, Eugene Schieffelin and the Acclimation Society of North America decided to bring all the birds mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays to the USA from Britain. Among them were 60 European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), because Shakespeare had mentioned them in Henry IV: “Nay, I’ll have a starling shall be taught to speak nothing but Mortimer’…” (Part I, Act 1, Scene 3).
