Maybe the bird is free, and it’s the law students who are in the cage?
On Sunday, an eagle-eyed observer, pun intended, managed to snap near simultaneous shots of not one but two birds inside the Harvard Law School library.
For those of you just catching up with this story, there’s been — we thought — a solitary bird loose inside the library and defying all efforts to get it kicked out by munching on student food and keeping its energy up. The library asked students to stop letting the bird get access to their food, which prompted the bird to take to social media to lodge its objections.

We have received one disturbing report that a severed wing was spotted in the library. Hopefully this was just a lost feather and not an injury occasioned by a botched humane capture effort. Still, even if one bird was taken out of commission, two more may rise in its place!
This picture suggests Langdell Bird may already have an accomplice — another soldier in the ever-growing Avian Army.

If cinema has taught us anything, it’s that Harvard is about to get massacred by a bird uprising. Sorry Harvard, we don’t make the rules.
