BANGUS ONLINE - Trent River on the Thames, ON—Raymand Caravello broke the cardinal rule of bird watching. He lied. He lied not once, but apparently he lied many, many times while senior member of the prestigious Trent River Bird Watchers Association (TRBWA). Raymond Caravello paid the ultimate price for his dishonesty. Held to an impossibly high standard for ethics than people who do not particularly care for birds, once you become a full card carrying member of the TRBWA, you are duty bound to comport yourself in a dignified, honest manner, in and out of the bush, claims President Rodney Mack.
“We had little choice,” shrugs Mack. “He lied about seeing a numbers of birds. He logged them as being sighted but an anonymous complaint came in to the undersecretary that Mr Caravello was not being truthful in his findings. Further, it came to our attention that while drinking, he told anyone within earshot that he couldn’t tell a woodpecker or a tit cock from an albatross and only goes to try and, excuse the term, it’s rather coarse - but he said he was just trying to “get laid.” Now, I ask you, who in their right mind would carry on in such a way?”
When confronted with the facts of the case, Caravello became defensive and conspiratorial, suggesting that fellow members were in fact jealous of his history of successful bird watching. He was then shown a picture of a chicken and asked to identify it. Caravello referred to the foul as a blue-peckered macaw. Caravello was then dragged out to the TRBWA Hanging Tree — an old hickory in back of the portable they rent from the local high school for their monthly meetings, and hanged. No charges have been laid at the time of press
