<climbing on soapbox> Okay jail time for hurting a bird is ridiculous but I do believe that this kid should absolutely be punished in that his actions to hurt/kill this animal were intentional. For anyone who says "it's just a bird" well, what is next for this kid - a cat, then a dog then a human? I'm sorry but cruelty to ANY animal is still cruelty and his parents should have taught him to respect not only people but the creatures we share this world with.
