Uh, Wolf...I doubt there are birds big enough to carry a loaded
AT-clone, much less a Sony Multiscan, modem, phone, and printer.

Besides, bird exhaust doesn't go splut. It goes splat.
The definitive splut is a quart or more of lime Jell-O mold, (you know -
the kind that you get when you add cottage cheese to an otherwise
undistinguished tub of Jell-O), place it in a Tupperware container (if
it didn't start there), and throw it at a brick wall from at least
fifteen feet.
I determined this after an exhaustive series of experiments.

Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.
