Margaret Atwood - Birds

It's been _ages_ since anyone posted here, but I read this article in the guardian last week and thought it was really good, and worth sharing.

It's by Margaret Atwood, who is one of my favourite authors of all time. She writes in a very detailed, descriptive manner, with all types of topics. Some of her books would be called science fiction, but that would be a narrow category to put her in in my opinion. We are currently reading a book by her about debt (appropriate in the current financial climate!), called Payback. It's great to read something that is quite a serious issue, but in a manner that is highly entertaining and easy to read - with loads of examples from all through history of our relationship to debt. The same is done in this article about the plight of birds. At the heart of it, it's a pro-bird-protection article, which I am fully in support of, but it's also an interesting read.
