Angry Birds - a disclaimer

With an uncharacteristic flurry of feathers the Federation Of Winged Laying-birds (FOWL) yesterday issued a full volley of protests over continued attempts to smear the fine reputation of chickens and other hardworking egg-laying birds around the globe.

Chicken Little Feet 

At Sunny Side Up, a state-of-the-art, solar powered, battery chicken egg farm outside of Washington DC, a US spokespers-hen addressed a packed press conference as follows;

"There is a fine line between political satire and callously belittling the hard-working avian population on whose wholesome eggs an estimated 3/4 of our nation go to work each morning.

These continuous and damaging sleights to the reputation of our fine workforce is something which we should never have to endure.

Of course we are not perfect.
We would even be the first to admit that as chickens we have certain unique behaviors which tend to define us.

These may include;

• small or bony feet 
• Bouffant golden quiffs 
• rounding suddenly on fellow fowl who crowd our space or challenge our supremacy 
• running around urgently in all directions to project the image of being busy without any substantial plan in in place 
• crowing out messages before dawn while the rest of the brood is asleep 
• Unnecessary clucking, wing flapping and aggressive posturing at trivial provocations 

But to caricature us this way is a mean and paltry insult; which deeply offends our rank and file. Going forward we must insist on more sensitive treatment of FOWL by the media.

For the sake of clarification we do not endorse the following in any way;

• hard boiled rhetoric
• soft boiled strategies
• completely scrambled tweets
• poached initiatives and of course  
• over-easy relationships with anyone from Russia.

We hope to have made ourselves eggstreamly clear on the matter.".
