People in an English village are living an avian-fueled nightmare, but it’s less like Alfred Hitchcock’s classic horror flick The Birds, and a lot more like the scene in the classic Mel Brooks comedy flick High Anxiety that parodies The Birds.
According to BBC News, the folks in the village of Great Gonerby in Lincolnshire, England thought it was pretty cool at first when thousands and thousands of starlings started congregating in the area.
They thought it was pretty amazing to see so many of the birds flying around overhead.
However, everything being coated in bird poo? Less amazing.
“Everyone found it fascinating to start with but now they’re fed up with it,” one villager told BBC News.
Alright. I get that. No one likes being target practice for a bird trying to drop its cloaca’s payload. I’ve had people tell me getting clobbered with bird s–t is good luck, but I’m skeptical of that.
However, if it’s true, the fine folks of Great Gonerby and the surrounding area are some of the luckiest people you’ll ever meet.
But just how ̶b̶a̶d̶ lucky could it all be?

“Even simply going out the entrance door you find yourself with poo in your fingers as a result of it’s everywhere in the handles,” native resident Katie Emmett stated.
Alright, positively not fortunate.
That’s why some residents are taking preemptive measures and overlaying their vehicles to verify their rides aren’t coated in feces after they go outdoors very first thing within the morning.
“It’s a ache but it surely’s whether or not you wish to see out of your home windows within the morning,” resident Jonathan Brown stated.
“They’re [the birds ] a thick black cloud, and you’ll hear them and you’ll hear the showers of poo coming down.”
That’s… that is simply terrible.
I might be overlaying my automotive at night time. I used to hate having to scrape ice off of my windshield.
I can not even think about not with the ability to discover a scraper and having to make use of a bank card to scrape feces off my windshield.
