Mating Birds

We have been accused of many things, but never this:

Israelis Mate Vultures With Broken Wings

How low will the press go?

If the truth be told, this article is about a new Israeli scientific breakthrough.

Two vultures with crippled wings have successfully mated and hatched a fledgling — with the aid of a fake egg — in what an Israeli ornithologist said Tuesday was a scientific breakthrough.

Scientists had previously believed that vultures that are unable to fly could not mate because they cannot balance properly, said Yonit Sela, an ornithologist involved in a project to revive Israel’s dwindling vulture population.

Cool.

    Ahem, what does screwing have to do with flying.Birds, to my recollection, prefer to bonk if not on terrae firma,then something approximating it like the bough of a tree.

    The vulture population will increase as stated in the Bible because we are living in the End Times and Hashem’s word says this will happen in the Valley of Armaggedon.

    Also as for the vultures mating, when the instinct is there, one of them will find a way.

    Shalom
