Ya know, Apicius has a recipe for thrushes. (Or chicken parts, if thrushes aren't available.)
The movie "Gigi" (the Caron version, not sure about the original French version) has a scene of Gigi eating a thrush, an ortolan.
Check out how ortolans have been eaten for the last 150 years. Deep fried, and with a napkin covering the diner's head. If you're religious, it's to hide the sinfully delicious act from God. If you're not, then the covering "traps the vapors..."
Oh, and I'm 99.44% sure the EU has them listed as "endangered" from over hunting (netting?).
But yes, I could see Algorians trying to make the connection to AGW.

No, no, no you have it all wrong the current birds feathers are 0.013 microns shorter because the warmer atmosphere has a higher density (higher moisture content). The current birds don’t need the increased wingspan of their ancestors. Please reexamine the evidence!! Obviously the atmosphere is .00013 degrees warmer and we are all going to die!!!

It’s a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
