A Berlin-area animal shelter has struggled to find homes for some 1,500 small birds hoarded by one man in his small apartment. "Unfortunately this isn't an isolated situation," says one official, citing cases involving goats and monkeys.

Berlin officials cleared about 1,500 budgies and parakeets on Tuesday evening from a two-room apartment occupied by a retired man in the Spandau district of Berlin, according to city veterinarian Margit Platzer, who said it took more than seven hours to catch all the birds.

a two room flat... and they were flying around freely! Apparently, the walls and floors were covered inchdeep in... ahem.

the man will have to move out, as the flat is obviously uninhabitable... and they have difficulty finding new places for the birds. there are too many for the local shelters to take in.
In the article, a french couple is mentioned, btw, who lived in a two-room flat with SIXTY-FOUR DOGS!

berbs... with your cats and dog... watch out! Don?t go down that road too far, lol.

Jeepers!

I live in a four roomed flat with one cat - that's enough. And even that would be too much if I didn't have a back window to let him outside. People like that must be mentally ill.

It was a concentration camp.

"Ask the slave girl; she will tell you the truth.' So the Apostle called Burayra to ask her. Ali got up and gave her a violent beating first, saying, 'Tell the Apostle the truth.'"

I think he was trying to show his mate, who claimed to have picked up a "bird" on his latest pub crawl.

Some geezers are too literal!

A little boy prayed for a bike. Then he realized God doesn't work that way so he stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
