Flying chickens hit Sydney homes

By Phil Mercer
BBC, Sydney



The frozen chicken missiles have damaged several homes
Australian police are investigating how and why homes near Sydney have been bombarded by dead chickens.

Residents in the city of Newcastle believe the birds may have fallen from an aircraft or been fired by pranksters using a slingshot.

Two homes have been damaged since the mystery began.

When a headless chicken crashed on to a suburban house in Newcastle last month, most people thought it had fallen from a low-flying aircraft.

That theory is now in doubt after a second bird fell on to another home nearby at the weekend.
