They bred two finches from a different island. The offspring interbred, because the local finches wouldn’t breed with them. So they had several generations of inbred finches. Nothing remarkable about them. No evolution. No new species. Non-story.

From what the article implied, although it wasn't clearly stated, it sounded like the scientists played a role in this breeding.

That would merely be intelligent design all over again.

Of course, with the definition of *species* being so elastic and vague, it's easy to *prove* that a *new species* has *evolved*.

Obviously, there was something genetically or visually wrong with the first bird because the females didn’t want to breed with him. They refused to pollute the gene pool.

That or birds are racist!

Even if this were true, which I doubt, it would be Micro Evolution, and nobody denies that, not Macro Evolution of which there is no proof what so ever.
