If there was proof that this had happened then surely we'd have heard about it
from Clive Palmer. If there's no proof then how did this story start -someone
saw something suspicious, or someone just thought up a good story?
Are Black-throated Finches commonly kept in captivity so that someone could do
this? And could a captured bird be identified as released, either by appearance
or by DNA testing? If so then there's so much money available from interested
parties to do so that surely it would have been done by now.
