There have been vociferous demands that all birds be abolished immediately, following the fatal downing of yet another airliner.  'If they haven't got the sense to recognise controlled airspace when they see it, they deserve what's coming' asserted one campaigner, who denied that he was prejudiced and was suffering from PTSD following the seagull-theft of his ice cream when he was a young infant. 



Another campaigner, from the militant wing of the Campaign Against Birds and who denied being OCD, also objected to the manner in which birds clearly enjoy shitting all over the human race leaving the place looking untidy, and claimed that Daphne du Maurier's novel (far scarier than Hitchcock's crude, simplistic film) gave a clear warning of what would happen if we didn't stamp out this insidious menace.



However, there have been protests from the lovers of penguins, ostriches and Christmas turkeys, who have flocked together to suggest that the anti-avian campaigners are getting in a flap over nothing.
