And this episode explains the unidentified chooks they found on roofs in Sydney

It's raining chickens!

And you thought it could only rain cats and dogs! On January 2 2005 the first chicken fell with a loud thud on to the roof of Stephen Leung's house. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority thought it may have fallen out of a plane, as experts calculated that from the impact evidence that it would have fallen at least 500 metres. But a few weeks later a second chook crashed through the roof of a house about 800 metres down the road. It was only discovered because of a foul smell, the chook had smashed through the rooftiles and its remains were decaying inside the roof frame.
Several experts were consulted, including a professor from the University of Newcastle, who concluded that the likelyhood of frozen chickens being fired from a big slingshot was greater than two chickens in a month within a kilometre radius falling from a plane
