The article you linked pointed out several reasons as to why the practice is inhumane but calling it "forgetting to open their wings" seems particularly callous when you remember that this animal has just been flung out of a plane 500 feet in the air and is undoubtedly terrified and in a state of shock.

Funny picture. Uh. Here's a baby kestrel that looks like a football.

Well see it's hard to get the model to hold still when they are casting the molding, you know, due to the extreme heat. And since bronze is a precious metal, that can only be smelted so many times before it degrades, they only make one attempt. Why they don't make multiple plaster casts then and pick the best one? It is also believed that a true fingerprint of the soul can only be captured in the first cast. And bronze pours best into a plaster mold that is 87% dry. And the plaster mixer is only available on Wednesdays too.

Bronze statuary is expensive as gently caress, for quality work, and so people with no understanding of the process or the results pick the lowest bidder for the project.

The whole fiasco with the Robocop statue is a good example of what can go wrong. In that case the sculptor and caster do quality work, but the project came in impossibly over budget, so it only gets worked on in fits and starts, and even then last I heard Detroit city hall is still iffy it'll even allow its display on public property .

My dad and I decided that the musk lifesavers taste like old lady perfume but for some reason we really like it, everyone liked the Vegemite giving it ratings from tolerable to really good, and we haven't tried the Pineapple Lumps yet, we're saving them for my nephew's birthday party.

There are 2 kiwi schools of thought on pineapple lumps. Either eat them at room temperature, or chuck them in the fridge for a day or two and try them cold. When cold they become firmer to the point of snapping when bitten into, and they are less chewy.

I like them from the fridge.

That's not pure Vegemite it's cut with cheese spread and probably makes it more palatable to foreign tastes, while Australians used to the good stuff know it's wrong town.
