The Great Society
In the woods, and without hormones, there is a growing concern. It seems the birds have elected leaders. It only seems that way because the pamphlets and bird newspaper articles are written in a French Dadaist style. Biologists are puzzled by this new oddly feathered social structure and by the pervasiveness of fringe French culture. To thwart the inevitable aerial attack from hordes of corrupt pigeon and scissor tail fly catcher officials, the military has devised a plan to destroy France. Although this is not a direct solution to any future bird bombardments, it is a project the military has been developing for quite some time. Sure, the French will try to solicit help from the birds, largely due to their surreal contributions to aviary democracy. But then birds aren't really after humankind. Instead, they've plotted to cleansing the world of squirrels. The birds have been watching those crafty little creatures gathering nuts into community stockpiles and scurrying around monopolizing trees, and pledged to rid the world of their godless communist regime.
