The lithium battery exploded as they shot down tonight's dinner.
“Oh $ it's radio tagged”
“Quick, make up story to cover ass”

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.

Suicide eagles are going to take down our wind turbines.

They've had enough.

OK, so the birds are NOT fed with ultra-spicy local cuisine & used AS bombers…

(Curryer Pigeons ;?)

[BenLurkin]

I wonder what ever became of that guy.

Captain Ramirez: The chicken is in the pot, over.

Clark: Cook it!

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.

[MV=PY]

LOL! I had to look - he's still at it!

[BCW]

That's All Folks!

It's actually a bustard. No joke. It's a Eurasian terrestrial bird (notice the long legs) that very rarely flies. And they really are called bustards.

So, yes, this story is pure hogwash.

'Also, taking out a flying bird by rifle? Possible, but difficult.'

When I was in my youth, my cousin and I, armed with identical Crosman 760s, would wander the woods on airgun safaris. I seemed to have a knack for the longer range shots, but he was (and remains to this day) uncanny with his ability to hit moving targets. He would, with some regularity, take starlings on the wing out to 75' or so.

There are a lot of grammar, spelling and syntax problems in the report; obviously because the website and reporters seem to be MEers. You just have to smoke out the salient information and ignore the booboos.

Maybe anything with a long barrel in the ME is a “rifle”. Do they use shotguns in the ME? What for?

I agree, the so called bird carcass looks phony.

[Tucker39]

The plumage looks like a hen pheasant. Some kind of upland gamebird. Do they have those in the ME?

[jazusamo]

LOL!

Ahmadullah seems to be quite the story teller. That bird is one tough character if indeed there was a considerable explosion from explosives carried by him.

Ahmadullah may have been hitting the sauce or watching too many 0bama pressers and learned the art of lying from our fearless leader, quite possibly both.

[Flycatcher]

Muslims lie.

It's what they do. Lol.

This is bizarre?!?!

Looks like a previous poster was right, banded and tagged like that, someone has lost a flightless research subject.
