Obese Kookaburra Bird Is Too Fat to Fly
Zoo officials state a kookaburra bird ate too may sausages, now too fat to fly
SYDNEY –
Personal training is now a part of an Australian kookaburra bird’s life. Why, one may ask. It is because the kookaburra bird has become too fat after she ate too many sausages.
According to reports, the bird’s diet took a turn for the worst when residents who lived about a Sydney park began to feed the bird sausages at various barbecues. An adult kookaburra should weigh around 8 ounces, and unfortunately, this flabby fowl weighs in at a whopping 1.2 pounds. That’s obese for a bird of the kookaburra’s species.
In a time where some nations, named America, have a population that is surpassing a per capita incidence of overweight/obesity of 50%, it is fitting that even in nature, our lifestyle is leading to animals to also share in our weight epidemic.
As for this kookaburra, flight right now is not an option. Flying birds have bodies that are naturally ‘light for flight’, per standard biological sayings. While the bird’s bones remain hollow and relatively low density, it is the adipose build-up from the unhealthy diet that is now weighing down the bird’s inherent bauplan. The lifestyle of humans has negatively affected the quality of life for this bird.

How is this related to religion? Keep up the work, for your intelligence is becoming comparable to that of Amber’s (Such a low IQ, the government has classified her as the last remaining Homo Habilis and is attempting to put her into captivity at a zoo).

Everything on Earth is related to religion because God created it.

You like the simplistic approach, don’t you? Easier to say “God did it” than to look for real truth.
You’re a joke.

I know. You and I see eye-to-eye on most everything we comment on.
“God did it” is the reasoning that the un-educatecd or under-educated use when they get backed into a corner regarding religion. It’s a convenient way out because it requires zero thought, proof or substance.

OK, so man-made enriched plutonium is a creation of God. Listen, Abe, you need to understand that she failed to identify and explain how this correlates to religion. You should know these concepts of writing if you consider yourself a “journalist”. Identification, analysis, and explanations are what I am strengthening in honors 10th grade English and literature.

Oh, my bad. That is aimed towards Abe, unless you are an alias of Abe. In these circumstances, I hope Abe reads this…
