"The bird was a common house sparrow -- a species placed on the national
endangered list last year."

Maybe we could offer to ship a few million House Sparrows back to

"The company is considering some kind of memorial or mention for the
dead bird during the television broadcast Friday . . . A Dutch website
offered a $1,200 reward for anybody who knocks over the dominoes ahead
of time to avenge the bird."
