As everyone knows (or they should by now) is that birds aren't real.

This event was due to an ill-timed firmware update that caused the birds to reboot in mid-flight instead of on their roost.

Probably flew over a Mexican restaurant as a crowd of patrons were leaving.

Pretty sure I could drop a bull moose if the winds blowing right.

Don’t know, but I wish 75% of them would fall from the sky instead of ending up on my farm.

Looks to me like it wasn't the fall, it was the sudden stop.
