The curious case of gullible people


The other day One of my friends posted this "heart tugging" message on facebook

Out of curiosity and respect for bird intelligence (Birds are quite intelligent They can count, create tools out of sticks and twigs, Cuckoo even  tricks other birds by hiding the original birds eggs and replacing them with her own)
So I searched on google : do birds eat gum
and found the following link
http://www.backyardchirper.com/blog/bird-myths-gum-on-the-ground-kills-birds/
This does not mean we should litter the streets with gum, But we should at least check new facts for logic instead of just accepting them blindly and sharing them.


The ill effects of this gullibility:
Exodus of north east indians due to rumour mongering by some people.

Just For fun: Here is a cute pet bird that likes to chew gum
