angry birds

Every year around this time an evil cloud of angry little birds comes to the trees by my work and makes a mess of the parking lot. They are loud too, just sitting in the office you can hear the cloud of birds swoop in to the trees, tweeting and screeching. Everything is blanketed in white poop. Usually if I can park far enough away from the trees I can avoid a messy disaster on my car, but I'm not sure how big the cloud is this year. Thousands of little birds move at the same time, as if their minds are connected telepathically. I've always wondered about the flocking instincts of animals... How do schools of fish, or flocks of birds seem to move in absolute unison, changing direction in the blink of an eye? Do they feel it? Or do they just know?

The angry cloud of birds is coming to get me.
