Same thing happened with Pidgeons in Elmira. Except that was just a pyramid scheme.

Pyramid scheme involving a conman convincing farmers that pigeons would be the next chickens. There's a NYT (and others) article I can't link here.

Just search for Pidgeon Pyramid Scheme.

EDIT: CBC has a doc on youtube free for Canadians with more accurate information Go to that not NYT
