USDA Officials Mistake TikTok Dance for Avian Flu Symptom

A catastrophic misunderstanding occurred when USDA inspectors misinterpreted a viral TikTok dance as avian flu symptoms, leading to unnecessary culling of millions of chickens. The "Bird Boogie" trend, featuring exaggerated poultry-like movements, was flagged by AI monitoring systems as "potential neurological disease." Farmers were baffled when officials in hazmat suits arrived to euthanize flocks while teens continued filming dances in the background. "We thought the chickens were just really into Megan Thee Stallion," admitted one inspector. The incident has sparked outrage in the agricultural community, with some farmers now requiring social media literacy tests for government agents. Meanwhile, the poultry industry faces a new crisis as surviving chickens have begun mimicking the dance, causing production delays. Fast food chains are capitalizing on the trend with "Bird Boogie Nuggets" marketed as "so fresh they can still dance."
