Real quick, before we return to important things, let me just say that it’s awesome that there’s a species of finch on the Galapagos Islands that drinks blood.
And not just any blood, the blood of blue-footed boobies. There’s a neat article about this on a creationist site. Apparently blood-drinking birds are the fault of Adam and Eve screwing up the eco-system with their filthy nakedness (the site makes a similar argument using vague anecdotal accounts of flesh-eating parrots).
I’m trying to fit the vampire finches into a horror story, but I’m having a little trouble. Maybe they should have sparkles?
