What Could Be Worse Than Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds?

it actually happening in real life!

for several months the people of Pravia, a town in Spain’s Asturias Region have been under attack, by crows! Many of the towns residents have reported the crows fly into their homes windows with such force the birds actually bleed, “It looks like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie,” a Pravia woman told La Voz de Asturias. “Today, 17 of them were grouped together in front of the same window, and nothing was going to scare them away.” Another man said, “A neighbor had to paint his car completely because of the amount of scratches he had and the pieces of paint that were missing,” 

many local people believed it had something to do with the crows being very protective of their young and keeping humans away through their behavior. But that period has long passed, the Pravia local council and mayor have received hundreds of complaints about the crows’ behavior, but they are powerless to stop them, despite several attempts. They tried catching them with traps, scaring them away with balloons and now they want to use nets to keep them at bay, “It’s very peculiar, it has to have some explanation because they crash very violently,” Pravia Mayor, David Álvarez, said, admitting that his administration cannot currently keep the birds at bay,

in a bitter twist of fate this is the Municipality of Pravia (Asturias, Spain) coat of arms, 6 crows and a crown, I guess the birds are wearing the crown now!
