For weeks, a bird freely roamed the stacks of Harvard’s law library, stealing food from law students and keeping an eye out for Remy the feline auditing Harvard’s courses. The school brought in animal control folks and told everyone to starve the bird out, only to watch the bird mock them from the rafters.
But the bird has finally been evicted thanks to a group of 3Ls who bought a $12 net off of Amazon and got the bird out of the library.
