"A Dutch website called Geenstijl offered a $1,200 reward for anybody who knocks over the dominoes ahead of time to avenge the bird."

Maybe they should rename it the "endangered sparrow", or the "not-nearly-so-common-as-it-used-to-be sparrow".

The sanity level is dropping precipitously. I bet these Eurotwits wouldn't think twice about aborting a baby but they become outraged over a sparrow threatening to ruin a months work. BTW, sparrows are a dime a dozen in NYC.

Dave Winfield got busted in Toronto for popping a seagull with a baseball.

I might add, is it really necessary to kill a bird that knocked over a few dominoes for a game?" -----No. It is not necessary to kill the bird for knocking over dominoes that were being set up to break a world record. I doubt very seriously that the bird had this on his agenda when he flew in. It most likely panicked. Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The bird was trespassing and it would try to kill you if you tresspassed in its nest.

It's not human's fault that birds haven't thought to invent guns yet.

Stupid unarmed birds.
