Yelling Bird at TheOnion.com
Akima:
I assume this is a spoof thing? I couldn't find a single hit on "Montana Merkel" other than references to the Onion News Network story, and the interview with the ornithologist sounded pretty bogus. The bird looked a bit like a kookaburra.
akronnick:
The Onion is nothing but spoofs.
Of course it's hard to tell, given the state of TV news in the US these days.

I know people who take stuff like the Daily Show and the Colbert Report seriously. It's not so much the state of American TV news as it is the state of mind of the people who watch it.
I thoroughly enjoy both shows, but I would think it's fairly obvious that they're satirical and not actually news...
Mr_Rose:
When they say "the state of American TV News" like that, they mean that comic satire programming, like the two you mentioned, are actually better sources of accurate information than some of the actual TV news. That's how bad it is.

It's a well made clip and it's completely believable up to the point where the bird pecks a speed-knob and starts banging stuff
