There was a movie in the 60's called 'Birds' directed by horror legend Alfred Hitchcock. I know the 1960's was basically thousands of years ago for all you Gen Z readers. Anyway, the plot of the movie was all of the world's birds went crazy and started attacking humans. So this looks like a scene right out of that movie. I always keep my distance from birds, squirrels and other small critters. Sure they're small and in the end I would win if we had to battle human vs animal in a fight to the death, but I wouldn't be without battle scars. However, that's only if it's 1 v 1. If thousands of these grackles (they even have an evil name) rolled up, or in their case flew down looking for trouble the outcome would be very different. Don't think I survive that one and imagine how awful a death that would be? My bad this just got really morbid.
