The short of it is that there was a Reddit poweruser named Unidan who had a background in bird science. Very popular, very often upvoted, tons of karma.

Unfortunately he was found to be vote manipulating on sockpuppets to elevate his content and downvote others, and IIRC this infamous jackdaw copypasta is the one that blew his cover.
