I smell a picture of a wooden duck placed in a puddle of water having just been drenched by an oil can...

They sent the body of the bird to the museum to be put on display to increase awareness.

shouldnt they have sent the wind turbine?

now that's funny right there.

How can you kill an extinct bird?

 

[rcknfrewld]

don't be a stickler...the bird was thought to be extinct until it was spotted recently...I tried to pen a catchy title and it worked

Will this representative sample do?

Never mind, it's a wmv so no go.

Not sure I did all that right. You will get the idea. Every newer technology has growing pains.

Who will PETA members vote for now since the current administration loves wind power?

Did you know wind generator turbine blades are being manufactured from wood products in the northeast and shipped out by America's rail roads?

Did you know that wind farms cannot be built in the atlantic ocean if they can be seen from cape cod, particularly Hyannis Port? Did you know some who claim to believe wind generation to be the savior of the nation are hypocrites?

Just a few thoughts. Sorry about the extinct bird now being extinct.

PO

No wonder its extinct. Fastest-flying bird in the world and it can't avoid a small wind turbine? Maybe PETA should implement speed limits

If science has its DNA, they can recreate it. They're talking about doing that with dodoes and saber tooth tigers. While they're at it, they can re-animate Rodney Dangerfield. He was pretty funny.

So wildlife is under constant threat from petro extraction and use activities yet the right wingers are suddenly wildlife lovers when a rare bird is reported killed by wind power. Yep, a perfect example of logic backward enough to be attributed to Rush and the right-wingers. Thanks for sharing!!

This bird is not even close to extinction. It breeds in China and migrates to Australia. It's unusual to see it in England.

Only a left-winger would come up with that logic...

We were just making fun of the irony that wind power killed this bird with a bunch of greenies watching... nothing more, nothing less...

I am sorry for you that you had to get all political... Do you ever smile (aka, this was humor)? You sound hate filled... Do you listen to too much Ed Schultz?

Mods, sadly, if this gets too ugly, we might need to move this thread and add an "*"...

Actually the thread made me laugh and smile...which is why I had to comment. Done now though, back to making bread, thanks!

It's a Liberal fake out!!! That's just sick. It's like saying Kangaroos are an endangered species, but only in the USA.:laugh:
