Bird of the Week

Today we welcome back friend of The Bird, Mr David Clay, as we discuss that one time China tried to eliminate all the sparrows in their nation. Did the plan work, were there unforeseen consequences, is this another tale of human folly? Almost certainly. Join us as we look at another strange avian story from history.

Notes

Sorry I meant to have notes, but I'm not as organised this time. The story is quite well documented though in numerous online sources.
