"The Birds"

the last day it snowed..i must have had about 300 crows in the trees next door. i'm not sure why they were clustered,but i think the weather upset them somehow. unfortunetly it was too dark already to take a picture. i'll usually throw them out popcorn,but that was just too many to feed.

They are really eerie. I suppose that's why there's so much folklore about them. They're stunningly beautiful though. I saw one the other day with a blue-green sheen to its back and it took my breath away. I think if I saw about 25 lurking around at one time I'd run in and lock the doors though!

Oh yes I remember that movie and I loved it. We have many birds around here and many many black birds. Sometimes the trees that haven't gotten their new leaves yet look black because of so many birds in them. They also get on the phone and elect. lines to perch. I don't feed bread crumbs to them mainly because of the dog and cat.

I saw that film when I was very young and it frightened the wits out of me. It still does now and so does that squawking. I don't hear it often as there are not many round here but maybe before a storm they will gather and that film comes to mind. Ah they have to have somany special effects in films nowadays butthey seen unreal -unlike that one which was oh sooooo real One bird like in your photo is fine but as soon as I see two together.......

I thought of that movie last week. I was sitting on my back steps at dusk and we have a lot of crows downtown, not far from me. Apparently they were on their way "home" from their daily wanderings and they were flying overhead in long flocks. They just kept coming and coming! I watched for ten minutes and there was no end in sight, it was so eerie.

hello web, I've seen "The birds" movie and not really blackbirds just ravens and crows in the provinces. But not in the city. Although, I see sone wild mayas and brown housebirds here in the city. Whenever I go to work I leave some bread scraps outside my window hoping for the birds to drop by there. There was a time on a weekend, I pulled my blinds up and let my window wide open. A brown housebird went into my room and hopped a few paces lol... it stared at me and chirped then it flew back out of the window. It was cute hahaha... But you're right about having a creepy feeling when you see lots of birds surrounding your yard or part of your house where they can usually get food. I've seen it from my neighbor's place back in the province... wooo! though I love animals a lot even birds but not their poops hahahaha...

Ewwwww...The Birds....Wow what a movie. Anyhoo...no we dont get many around my neck of the woods and thank goodness we dont...that movie kind of scared the heebees out of me when I was little..we do get a pack of buzzards if something is running in the fields next to us...we live in the country kind of.

Over the weekend my hubby took me to see my Granny's grave site and we saw a lot of little brown birds and in front of the flock was one crow. It looked like a momma bird and a bunch of babies.

We do have blackbirds and a couple of weeks ago when it was nice....right before the sun went down there were tons of them sitting in the top of all the trees I can see out my back door....it was really weird! I don't however put out scraps. I don't have alot to share.

That movie was very scary for me as a child. It was recently on tv and I watched it my daughter who also found it terrifying. Usually we see a lot black birds gathering on the power lines at dusk and they all seem to be staring at us. It really creeps us both out!

I have a pair of blackbirds that come in my garden every day they are lovely but other than that I do not see that many blackbirds. We have a lot of rooks around where I live and also just lately we seem to have a lot of seagulls that have moved into the area, they were all shouting this morning and I thought I was on holiday because normally I only see them by the sea!!!

There are not many blackbirds where I am, but one year it was really scary with the birds. It was a Thanksgiving morning, and I happened to look out of my front window. Across the street all I saw were blackbirds, there were so many the ground looked black. When one took off the rest followed suit. I ran to my back window, and couldn't believe all of the birds that were on the back lawn. This happened for about a month. One day while I was out for lunch, I worked near my house, I was driving and the birds came. I was screaming so loud, my girlfriend had to take the wheel. It was one if the scariest moments I can ever remember. To be driving through a flock of two or three hundred birds, ON MY

Hi GRANDPA B OB, Yes I feed my birds everyday and I have two robins comes to me and there pidgeons and black birds magpies bluetits and greentits finches, squirrels too they all come to my garden for theeir feeds. Tamara

I think that black bird is a crow.if I am wrong,then it seems to be a crow at the least.Well,we can see more crows in our area.As you have told,they rest on trees and the electric wires in a bunch.And are ready to feed anything we offer.It is a tradition in our country to feed the crow first before eating food.By the way,Hitchcock mad a great success with the film using less technology.If he were now,with the modern computer graphics,he might threaten the world a hundred times more.

I have resident blackbirds, two males and two females who have nests in my garden hedge. They come back to the same spot every year, to lay their eggs and rear their young, and there's at least one, in particular, who comes right up to me and chatters when I'm sitting out in the garden. Also, one time when I was sitting up in the churchyard under my favourite oak tree, one flew right past my head and over my shoulder. I think I have an adopted totem in the blackbird. Thank you for sharing, Grandpa Bob and Brightest Blessings.

What we have are Great-tailed Grackles, noisy, nasty birds, who's only good point is they eat bugs, and have a great time during the cricket invasions!

That is a classic awesome movie! They don't make them like that anymore! I think if I was surrounded by blackbirds I would run and hide! I don't tend to feed and encourage birds around my house as I can't stand the poop!!

I remember that movie well. I loved all of Hitchcock's work. We don't have blackbirds that live down here in my area of Florida but we seem to be part of their flight path to whereever they spend the winter months because they do pass through. Sometimes huge flocks of them will decide to spend the night in our trees and you can imagine the noise they make before they finally settle down and go to sleep.

We do have birds in our yard almost every morning becausue i also feed them bread crumbs. But they are not black birds, they are the little brown birds you will find all over the country. I just love the sound of them chirpping each morning, maybe they have come to enjoy the bread crumbs i give them each morning. Its like they are waiting for it everyday. I love feeding them each day and they seem to grow in number too.

I remember that movie all too well. I weas totally scared and still feel scared when I see blackbirds. I did not know that a movie could haunt me from sseeing it for the first time. Good photo though, even if it did make me shiver! Blessings
