Bird Boy

And in interesting boy news today, we have this story of a fifteen-year-old boy who was trying to raise 53 baby birds in his room.

His mother called animal control and the boy was ticketed for animal cruelty. I'm not sure what to think of the whole thing -- or how I'd react if I found over 50 birds in my son's room -- but I'm not sure it qualifies as animal cruelty either.

What do you think? What do you think the boy was trying to do? And how would you have reacted if you were his mother or father?
