For the Birds

The BBC reports a phenomenon in Scotland that has not reached Ireland. Yet.

Confused ostriches raised on farms are falling for their keepers, according to a
researcher. A study found that the birds were directing their courtship rituals at
humans rather than their own species.

Hopefully, the IFA will issue guidelines to prevent any misunderstandings,
awkward silences, unreturned phone calls, etc. on Irish farms (Insert your own
joke about Mayo men and sheep here). I was out for dinner on Saturday night
and ostrich was on the menu. Sometimes love means having to say you're
gravy.
