To the scientifically minded out there, is there a possibility that a 
species restricted virus can be created that wipes out a species, in much 
the same way that Calici virus kills rabbits? I was thinking that maybe a 
virus could be created for sparrows, blackbirds, song thrushes, bulbuls, 
mynas, Mallard ducks, etc.
P.S:this is not a sarcastic question
