moon Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 :D The extinct great bustard is back in Britain after 30 chicks arrived from the Russian steppes on Monday. Unfortunately, the Great Bustard was regarded as a delicacyhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wiltshire/3530030.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I heard about this a few weeks ago, before final approval for the export of the chicks was agreed. Let's just hope that the idiots among us don't get there and steal eggs in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 One of the reasons this bird disappeared from Britain is that, as well as being good to eat, it is also (even by bird standards) amazingly stupid and apparently shows no fear of humans - effectively asking to be despatched to the dinner table.
