HOUSTON - Like a scene from the horror movie "The Birds," large black grackles are swooping down on downtown Houston and attacking people's heads, hair and backs.

 

 

Authorities closed off a sidewalk after the aggressive birds, which can have 2-foot wingspans, flew out of magnolia trees Monday in front of the County Administration Building.

 

"They were just going crazy," said constable Wilbert Jue, who works at the building. "They were attacking everybody that walked by."

 

The grackles zeroed in on a lawyer who shooed a bird away before he tripped and injured his face, Jue said. The lawyer was treated for several cuts.

 

It appears that the birds are protecting their offspring. On Monday a young grackle had fallen out of its nest and adult birds attacked people who got too close, Jue said.

 

Another bird attacked a deputy county clerk.

HOUSTON -

 

"The birds were just going crazy," said constable Wilbert Jue, who works at the building. "They were attacking every lawyer that walked by."

 

The grackles zeroed in on a lawyer who shooed a bird away before he tripped and injured his face, Jue said. The lawyer was treated for several cuts.

 

He is currently suing the city for an undisclosed, astronomical sum of taxpayers' money.

 

Another bird attacked a deputy county clerk, who will also be represented in the lawsuit.

Shotgun will clear that problem up and quick.

You need a permit to shoot the birds, no limits on the number of lawyers you can shoot.
