Eric Cuellar, 24, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor instigating or engaging in animal cruelty and was sentenced to 48 hours of community service, ordered to attend an alcohol counseling class and told to pay a $200 fine and $150 in restitution.
A fellow UC Berkeley law student, Justin Teixeira, faces felony charges of killing the bird.
Police said the two men were spotted throwing a dead 14-year-old helmeted guinea fowl, talking about how it was killed and “laughing about it” at the Flamingo Hotel at 9:35 a.m. Oct. 12.
Surveillance cameras filmed the men “chasing the bird into the trees” at the hotel’s wildlife habitat, police said.
“A witness then observed the suspects emerge from the trees, carrying the body and severed head of the bird,” police said.
Cuellar was seen tossing the dead bird back and forth, authorities said.
India ( Another Gang Rape - 6 men arrested for the rape of woman on bus ) New Delhi
NEW DELHI (AP) — Police said Sunday they have arrested six suspects in another gang rape of a bus passenger in India, four weeks after a brutal attack on a student on a moving bus in the capital outraged Indians and led to calls for tougher rape laws.
Police officer Raj Jeet Singh said a 29-year-old woman was the only passenger on a bus as she was traveling to her village in northern Punjab state on Friday night. The driver refused to stop at her village despite her repeated pleas and drove her to a desolate location, he said.
There, the driver and the conductor took her to a building where they were joined by five friends and took turns raping her throughout the night, Singh said.
The driver dropped the woman off at her village early Saturday, he said.
Singh said police arrested six suspects on Saturday and were searching for another.Gurmej Singh, deputy superintendent of police, said all six admitted involvement in the rape. He said the victim was recovering at home.
Also on Saturday, police arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly raping and killing a 9-year-old girl two weeks ago in Ahmednagar district in western India, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. Her decomposed body was found Friday.
Police officer Sunita Thakare said the suspect committed the crime seven months after his release from prison after serving nine years for raping and murdering a girl in 2003, PTI reported Sunday.
The deadly rape of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi bus in December led to the woman's death and set off an impassioned debate about what India needs to do to prevent such tragedies. Protesters and politicians have called for tougher rape laws, police reforms and a transformation in the way the country treats women.
"It's a very deep malaise. This aspect of gender justice hasn't been dealt with in our nation-building task," Seema Mustafa, a writer on social issues who heads the Center for Policy Analysis think tank, said Sunday.
"Police haven't dealt with the issue severely in the past. The message that goes out is that the punishment doesn't match the crime. Criminals think they can get away it," she said.
In her first published comments, the mother of the deceased student in the New Delhi attack said Sunday that all six suspects in that case, including one believed to be a juvenile, deserve to die.
She was quoted by The Times of India newspaper as saying that her daughter, who died from massive internal injuries two weeks after the attack, told her that the youngest suspect had participated in the most brutal aspects of the rape.
Five men have been charged with the physiotherapy student's rape and murder and face a possible death penalty if convicted. The sixth suspect, who says he is 17 years old, is likely to be tried in a juvenile court if medical tests confirm he is a minor. His maximum sentence would be three years in a reform facility.
"Now the only thing that will satisfy us is to see them punished. For what they did to her, they deserve to die," the newspaper quoted the mother as saying.
Some activists have demanded a change in Indian laws so that juveniles committing heinous crimes can face the death penalty.
The names of the victim of the Dec. 16 attack and her family have not been released.

Investigators and a team of forensic anthropologists concluded their excavation Saturday afternoon at the scene where tiny human remains were found Friday in Hallandale Beach.
Hallandale Beach Police Chief Dwayne Flournoy said he was told by the team the search for any additional remains would end Saturday afternoon.
"They have located other remains consistent with that of an infant or small child,” Flournoy said.
Brittney Sierra, 21, and Calvin Melvin Jr., 27, parents of Dontrell Melvin, who went missing 18 months ago, were arraigned on child neglect charges Saturday morning.
A Broward county judge increased bond for both parents to $100,000 on the charge of cruelty towards a child and abuse causing great bodily harm.
Melvin, also charged with obstruction of a criminal investigation or falsifying information to locate a missing person, was given an additional $50,000 bond.
Both parents remained in Broward County jails as of Saturday afternoon.
Investigators began searching for Dontrell this week, after the Department of Children & Families hotline received a call alleging child neglect.

The discovery occurred in an abandon mechanic workshop on the TJ street of Tehuacan in the colonia Ejido Francisco Villa.
The 9.4 tons of marijuana confiscated by the State Preventive Police in the border town of Tijuana allegedly belongs to the Sinaloa Cartel.
The assumption of ownership of the confiscation being the Sinaloa cartel was due to the name “Beny” that appears on some packages, and Beny is identified as collaborator of the Sinaloa cartel, a criminal organization lead by the drug trafficker Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
Some packages had red spray paint and the name “Capulin”, but others were marked with a number representing its weight.
It was not verified if the weight was the correct one since the weighing of the drug was in total of all packages confiscated.
Authorities colluded that after the collection of the drug, it gave a weight of 9 tons with 43 kilograms.
The drug packages were not uniform in weight, size or shape. .

Becerra said the man was an employee of XCeed Resources, a nonprofit organization formally known as Border TM that employs people with mental disabilities. A spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Transportation said XCeed's employees had been doing contract work for TxDOT at the time of the accident. Graciela Arreola, the human resources manager for XCeed, said the man had been employed there since at least 2001. "Everybody is reeling," Arreola said. "It's devastating." Arreola said the man's supervisor was emotionally "totally broken" after the accident, while his two co-workers have been in shock and unable to speak about it.
