I since researched it and read that article. In 2002 my then girlfriend asked me about the laws of kashrut for birds, and I pulled out the article from my binder and gave it to her. I was so proud to have such a cool article easily accessible. I love the way the argumentation in this and other articles in that journal works. It's great that it's available online now.
