The biologists say that these are 'Brewer's Blackbirds' and that they behave this way to protect their nearby nests.
I wonder if this is what inspired Alfred Hitchcock.

Peck their bloody eyes out! (I've been binge watching Game of Thrones all week). I think that scene from the Birds scarred me for life.

In the LA Times, there's an article from 1986 when Brewer's blackbirds laid siege to Beverly Hills City Hall. "This bird came fluttering into me and lightly bashed into my head," said Randy Levitz, a Westwood resident. "I kept walking and looked back and saw people behind me in the same general area swatting the air with their arms." (Nasty Nesting - June 19, 1986) Vaguely reminiscent of what happened to Elaine in the "The Andrea Doria" episode of Seinfeld. |
