F-16 lays golden egg for Dutch farmer?

This story is why blogs were invented.

A Dutch farmer last year received a claim for 3,500 Euros ($5,175) from the Ministry of Defense.

Why, you may ask?

Because the noise from an F-16 so confused the farmer's cockatoo that the Malaysian member of the parrot family ate its own egg, the Telegraaf newspaper reports today. Apparently, 3,500 Euros is retail these days for a new-born cockatoo.

No word yet on the F-35's potential impact on cockatoo reproduction.
