Comment edit

The article does explain very much about the organ itself. The description is a bit technical/jargony ... could we preface it with something simpler, then lead-in to the technical stuff? Also, I think we should mention IBD. Capital "b" - Bursa or bursa?

Discovery edit

May I question ?or add to? the story of discovery? I thought that poultry farmers noticed they had flocks that were dieing of diseases for which they had already been vacinated. The flocks had earlier had a relatively mild disease, then unknown. It was found that the first disease, IBD, had damaged the bursa, and hence development of the immune system. I would have guessed that the experiments with chicks were driven by a need to find an explanation for the disease but checking the dates I think IBD was discovered around 1962 while Bruce Glick did his work in 1956. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Feldercarb (talk • contribs) 15:01, 12 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

One reference is behind a paywall. edit

The reference for 'Sternberg, SS (Nov 2003). "Bottoms up to a Nobel-worthy chicken's bottom". The American Journal of Surgical Pathology.' is tightly behind a paywall, is that permitted or do we need to find another source?Wzrd1 (talk) 06:43, 12 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Evidently Randall Munroe must have happened on this page while Special:Randoming, because he released a webcomic about it yesterday. —scs (talk) 17:35, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
