HATEBEAK!

I will shamelessly steal the perfect subject from kfringe and say "Lock Mr. Bond in the aviary."

A rare exotic bird has been given a new lease of life after his beak broke off -- and a metal one was fitted in its place.

Southern ground hornbills are from southern Africa and can live for up to 40 years. In the wild they eat lizards, frogs and birds' eggs but in captivity survive on rats, mice, and crunchy human skulls.

    They are missing out on some great cross-promotion and pop cultural relevance.
