When Emus Grab Your Clothes
Birds are just so troublesome in Germany. If they're not Australian swans falling in love with plastic birds or lusting after donkeys, they're ripping people's trousers off.
The papers describe the latest culprit as a giant emu--we suspect he's just a normal-sized emu, that great ostrich-like Aussie bird who always has an aggressive glint in his eyes. In Kaarst, western Germany, this emu even managed to tear the trousers of a police officer who tried to arrest him after he pestered passersby.
There are some obvious problems here: lovesick birds and far-from-home Australian birds are largely causing the trouble in Germany. Obviously some community work on making migrant birds feel more at home and giving counselling to birds on romance and love is what's needed to fix up the country. Any bird psychologists out there prepared to help? Just remember to beware of the birds on your next trip to Berlin, Bonn or the Black Forest.
