Finch fighting: An idea for the birds
Posted Monday, February 15, 2010, at 10:21 AM
We've heard of dog fighting and chicken fighting.
But finch fighting?
I was looking for information about the Masschusetts native accused in the University of Alabama-Huntsville shootings and was surprised to find this on the Boston Herald's website.
Just an example of the meanness in the world today. Would any of you have imagined what appear to me to be songbirds fighting each other?
I guess serious gamblers and people with mean streaks will go for anything.
