IN the NEWS - Now This?

 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: Psalm 142:6

 "Massive flocks of the red-billed quelea bird — a notorious African crop pest — have decimated grain harvests across farms in
western Zimbabwe in recent weeks, causing fears of a local food shortage in the near future,
the online newspaper New Zimbabwe reported Monday.
Quelea birds — which are known to flock by the thousands — have been attacking grain harvests not only in Matabeleland North province but across Zimbabwe in recent weeks, according to recent comments by Shingirai Nyamutukwa, who heads the Zimbabwean agriculture ministry’s migratory pest security department. Nyamutukwa “said at a farmer’s winter wheat training workshop at Combe Farm in Zvimba that the issue was reaching crisis levels.”
