#3 I remember a similar story about a construction worker on the Golden Gate Bridge. After every sea gull catch and release from the safety nets, he gave them a dab of read paint to see how many were the same gulls coming back - or, just for the heck of it.

Excitable bird watchers began coming to see the red crested gulls that were migrating to San Fransisco for the first time ...

#4 We once had a black-headed goose....

Of course the stupid goose'es head was black headed because he dunked his head into a coffee can of old motor oil while we were taking a beer break (from changing said oil).

#5 "charges of ill-treating an animal"

For all the complainers and the judge know, the birds thought it was a great idea and loved having some color instead of being a boring brown.

Sound species-ist to me....
