The state bird of Tennessee is terrorizing a town in Texas. They are turning a quiet neighborhood into a scene out of Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller The Birds from 1963. Residents say it’s not safe to walk down the street because they’ve been attacked by dive-bombing mockingbirds who are protecting a nest of chicks. People have reported being poked in the back by sharp beaks. Others say they’ve been chased by the birds.
Sheila Says: I’ve experienced the wrath of an angry Mockingbird Mama. They are tough.
