&lt;P&gt;On&amp;nbsp;Tuesday a local area man met up with the lethal bird clan gang of HDZ.&amp;nbsp; The HDZ Gang's most common tactic is to lure unsuspecting visitors into the designated drop zone and then tie their shoe strings together.&amp;nbsp; In many cases clan members have been known to distract their victims by landing on their shoulders, head and/or hands.&amp;nbsp; Once on the ground&amp;nbsp;all clan members&amp;nbsp;scoop up any loose change and use that to purchase the $1 popcicle sticks with bird&amp;nbsp;food stuck on them.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A local bird clansfeather was quoted as saying "we find these reports&amp;nbsp;both unfounded and full of white splotches".&amp;nbsp; "There is&amp;nbsp;simply no evidence to support this nor do we have any convictions that you know about yet.".&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Still, authorities are not confirming reports of any ongoing investigations regarding these complaints.&amp;nbsp; That doesn't mean an investigation isn't on going.&amp;nbsp; They did confirm though the slightly over priced bird food sticks can not be purchased with flowered checks.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Only a few miles away at the Mini-K Ranch in Underwood, Iowa the newly founded Cat Clan of Mini-K has begun offering protection services.&amp;nbsp; "The HDZ Bird Gang is our specialty" offered one spokesperson from the gang.&amp;nbsp; The CCMK was formed just this Spring and two members are nearly completed with their training.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;CCMK already offers protection for the small chics and has lowered the rodent population by around 312% in the barnyard area.&amp;nbsp; "We offer up close and personal inspections for the HDZ gang" boasted the other CCMK member (who requested to remain anonymous).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;At this time the official pricing scale has not been set but is speculated to be around 1 can of food per catch plus the catch itself.&amp;nbsp; There has also been talk of perks along the line of 10 minute belly rubs and collar free Fridays.&amp;nbsp; The Mini-K Ranch Boss was not available for comment regarding any contracts for off site work.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Officials would also not comment on the recent death of one of Henny Pennys chics which was found dead in a water bowl.&amp;nbsp; "There is simply no connection to the CCMK at this time" offered one un-named official, "although the investigation is still on-going and we are treating this as an accident at this time.&amp;nbsp; It would appear that the young chic went for a drink and never came up for air.&amp;nbsp; Although baby chics have brains more complex than most politicians, it may not have been enough to save the young fella."&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;img src="http://niasnebraska.com/NiasNebraskaForum/aggbug.aspx?PostID=280" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
