...the Jersey feral chickens, and how they are becoming a menace...
Have we become such a nation of invertebrates that we can be intimidated by chickens?

Any animals in sufficient numbers can be intimidating. But the answer is no, the people weren't intimidated, they were annoyed.
Unless they were giant and/or zombie chickens.

When the American Chicken Bunker, a military-themed fried-chicken chain, builds a restaurant on the site of an ancient Indian burial ground, local protesters aren't the only ones crying fowl! The previous tenants, fueled by a supernatural force, take "possession" of the food and those who eat it, and the survivors discover that they must band together before they themselves become the other white meat! Film lovers have been starved for sustenance. The relentless diet of predictability and pretense Hollywood has been serving up just doesn't cut it. Poultrygeist is hearty food for thought. In Poultrygeist, Troma takes on the the fast-food industry-skewering the soulless restaurateurs-in the world's first horror-comedy film to feature zombie chickens, American Indians and a bit of singing and dancing! It's Poultrygeist!Written by Troma Entertainment
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...hers-feral-peacocks-split-community-in-canadaFor a decade, a group of feral peacocks have divided the community of Sullivan Heights. Some of the residents of this suburban neighbourhood outside Vancouver love the birds, who have taken up residence in the local trees; others say they are kept awake by the peacocks’ screeching.
For Parminder Brar, the final straw came last year, when he says his father injured himself slipping on peacock excrement on Brar’s property. He formally issued a request to take down the tree where the peacocks had built a nest. The city turned him down.
So, this week, Brar cut down the tree himself.
The move has sparked a furore in Sullivan Heights, angering his neighbours and potentially earning Brar a fine of up to $10,000.
“The majority of us love them. They add value to the neighbourhood,” says Katie Taylor, who has lived on the street for 12 years.
Unlike their native counterpart, the Canada geese who periodically stop by and can be aggressive, the peacocks have proven to be peaceful neighbours.
“We haven’t seen any aggression from the peacocks,” Taylor says. “You can feed them from your hands.”
Many of the residents on the Sullivan Heights community Facebook page feel less warmly towards the birds. Complaints to the city authorities have been submitted since as far back as 2009, after a nearby farm where the peacocks used to feed closed down and the birds chose to relocate to Sullivan Heights.
The city initially responded by sending animal control staff to round up the peacocks and release them elsewhere. But the birds kept returning.
Ultimately, the issue was dropped because the community was split over whether to let the birds stay.
“It’s a legal grey area,” says Jaspreet Rehal, the city’s public safety manager. “They don’t fall squarely into any animal control rules, regulations and bylaws.”
Nevertheless, he says Brar’s decision to take the law into his own hands was wrong. “Cutting down the tree was not an option. It was a very healthy tree, it was important to the environment around it and we take tree removal very seriously.”
The next step, Rehal says, is to convene a consultation with the community as a whole to decide what to do, with the likely result that the peacocks are relocated.
For now, the birds have taken to perching on Brar’s roof.
A grandma has been left picking up the pieces after a gang of PEACOCKS trashed her home.
Jenny Gibson, 68, spotted the group of five birds hanging around outside her house and went to tell a neighbuor.
But she forgot to close her front door and the when she returned the feral birds had barged in and were causing mayhem.
Jenny found three birds wrecking her hallway and another two flying around her kitchen.
Yes, look at the massive MSM over-reaction to the idea of chlorinated chicken imported from America.Have we become such a nation of invertebrates that we can be intimidated by chickens?
You know, I can't imagine peacocks nesting in a tree. I mean, yeah, they're birds it makes sense, but I just never thought about it.
sounds...delightful...Have you ever tried tinned chicken ? It's pink, very soft (even the bones) and has a taste that unmistakably like - well- tinned chicken. I was wondering with the increase in popularity of chicken-meat whether male chicks were allowed to survive longer until can-size ?
I can't help but posit that he number of chickens to reach point of intimidation would very, very large.
Unless they were giant and/or zombie chickens.
Or dressed as clowns.
Whilst playing Warhammer Online - if you tried to fight in the tier below your level you were turned into a chicken which resulted in many "chicken runs" - it was surprising how many players ran from a mass chicken attack or there was this - Warhammer Online Chicken Herder
