“This is ‘The Birds’ all over again, but it’s real!” Angry birds are attacking humans across the U.S.

Fleming SmithStephen Vedder used to enjoy peaceful lakeside runs near his Marlborough, Mass., home. This spring, after years of coexisting with an ornery neighbor, those tranquil outings came to an end.

The culprit was a red-winged blackbird.

I always knew it was the birds even when they said it wasn’t.

aoc and the squad will claim it is another planned racist attack via potus as nothing but only trump to blame for everytg. No.

Isn’t that in self defence as we have obliterated their habitat? What would be our response if some body damages our house and livelihood?

Didnt realize this was so common! Just had a blackbird attack me near a pond/trail in Lisle last week and had to wave my way out of there!

GET A CLUE. THEY ARE ANGRY. MAYBE WSJ SHOULD START STANDING UP FOR EARTH? YOU FEED OFF HER WITHOUT A THOUGHT. YOU TAKE AND TAKE AND NEVER GIVE BACK. DO YOU THINK YOU'LL SURVIVE? DID YOU THINK THERE WAS NO LIMIT? THINK AGAIN AND START ACTING LIKE RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS OF EARTH.

Carry a tennis racquet; use it to protect yourself.

Absolutely true, for the first time in years I have been attacked in my very quite park, these birds turned crazy defending their nestles! It is so scary! Illinois.

wow. many extreme replies here. i have had red wing blackbirds attack--ok, so?--seagull bit my friend's lip. Blackbirds (freakin smart) steal sandwiches from golf carts--holy shit, world is coming to the end

Every late spring early summer

Our local gulls pinch food. Local residents never eat o/s.

The birds are pissed about being mulched by windmills...?

BS

Go birds go!

Stop demonizing animals. The birds aren't turning violent

The beginning of the end, it is known

Dont worry rich assholes, birds and all life on this planet will be dead soon enough.

Got attacked two months ago..... like c’mon wasn’t even close to the nest and the bird has a huge desert close by to pick a tree . Lol.

Guess the Left will blame it on Trump !!!

Well yeah, just wait until later animals start in on us. Look up cities where monkeys run all over and steal and attack people. But you can't hurt them while they drag your infant daughter into a tree and drop it.

Aeschylus is not impressed

Maybe it’s because we’re fucking everything us

Wouldn't blame them, we are a major threat to nature

Yeah, don't blame them. I'd be attacking people too if they kept knocking down my house, killing my kids and making my way of life impossible.

Like this...

My girlfriend always says the biggest defense against climate change will be nature fighting back. I’m starting to think she might be onto something.

even the birds are becoming crazed in America 😂

We deserve it.

I DON'T SEE WHY THE COLOR OF THEIR FEATHERS MATTERS!?!?!?!

adamcarolla chrislaxamana

milenaac We deserve it

Can’t really blame them.

they are right. We are poisoning their ambient and killing them.

A .20 gauge with bird shot will even things up quickly.

so do 🐊s and 🐻s.

this story is for the birds

*get and count me on teamblackbird

Serves the idiots right

We are most definitely a threat so it's self defense.

slow news day This belongs on TheOnion. NEWS

HeadlineJuice must be even easier for the military to send a signal to a little birds brain in order to manipulate it.... You can't possibly believe that the bird has suddenly decided this on their own!

did it to me so I took the birdhouse pole and threw it on the ground. they stopped when I put it back up.

Yeh haha got attacked by birds in Canada whilst on a hike

We back to open space and a creek. Many, many red winged blackbirds around the trail that runs back there. Have not yet been attacked but, when I walk through, I know they're talking about me

I blame the guy in the photo ... looks like a trouble maker

This happensvev Ryan spring and summer. They are protecting their nests.

He was a film maker not a prophet. He said Gee what an idea for a film! Birds attacking people. We’ve already had ants and insects and lions, tigers and bears have been done too. Why not birds?

You know: Hitchcock didn't WRITE 'The Birds'... it was an adaptation of a novel.

Nothing new here... I remember being dive bombed by red winged black birds while running around Lake Merced in San Francisco back in the 1970’s. Nesting time.

Probably mad at humans for ruining their homes...

This is another Vampire films

Nature strikes back

😂😂😂😂😂

Summer Love Isn’t Forever at NetflixNew seasons of hit shows like 'Stranger Things' should entice new Netflix subscribers over the next few quarters, but hefty competition and dwindling cash could foil the plot Really Bad , made only for dump people!!! a better user interface that displays content by genre and remembers that you've already watched this selection would be nice Netflix is a FKN VERB now. They own streaming, all they have to do is stay on their current trajectory by creating halfway decent content, meanwhile all their supposed 'competition' has this massive mountain to climb, lots to prove wiithout any evidence they actually can do so.
