For the Birds

I always knew cellphones were for the birds. And now it appears they are:
Ornithologists and engineers at Oregon State University are planning to strap tiny mobile phones to songbirds and monitor the birds' migration with unprecedented accuracy.

I wonder how long it will be before we see birds flying erratically, bumping into each other, oblivious to everything else in the sky save for their cellphone conversations, and smacking into pedestrians. Hmm. Could be a really weird remake of Hitchcock's The Birds...
