I thought it was the Mystery Babylon Be at first!
Alfred Hitchcock laughs from beyond.
According to an interview with Dick Cavett, Hitchcock admitted that roughly 3,200 real birds were trained for use in the film. Hitch also admitted that the ravens were the most clever, while the seagulls were the most ferocious.

Reports are given at times of ravens seemingly drawing people lost in forest to safety. Actually, they are trying to lure the people towards a predator because the birds cannot pierce skin with their beaks and need a meal of carrion. All they can manage otherwise is to peck out the eyes.
Last year a young deer was killed by a truck down the road from our place in NC. The turkey buzzards ate at the meat exposed by torn skin, and the eyes, but did not pierce the skin.

The ravens and crows (corvids) are so smart they peck out the eyes in order to reach the brain where the real nutrition lies.
I lived in Argentina for 10 years. The Argentines believe that getting bird shit on you is good luck. Another reason I dislike that race. But then, so does every other South American nation.
“Question: How do you get rich? Answer: Buy an Argentine for what he’s worth. Sell him for what he thinks he’s worth.”
That joke would work for Biden as well.

in NYC that’s known as being anointed. Biden aint invited.
Look at it from the Saudi side: if the West succeeds with their green pipe dreams then the Saudis loose that market. The West has also shown itself a useless ally by not supporting the war in Jemen, arming ‘moderate’ rebels in Syria, cozying up to Iran and all the whining about that murdered ‘journalist’. Small wonder the Saudis are looking for a new patron, and China must seem the better choice to them.
After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
And if more explication is needed, “Man who stand next to mountain of corn take incoming from corn eating birds, Putz”

How bad is it? Even the Saudis are lampooning Slow-Joe, and Kamala the Ugandan. They’re good, too.

That’s some good shitting!

OK, the first three blog sites I’ve visited this morning all feature the clip of Joe Potato getting the bird.
I think that says something about my choice of blog sites.
Almighty God strike this putrid carbuncle asunder.
