The Birds!!! Like living in a Hitchcock movie

It's dusk in Kosovo and one by one they begin to gather. Lining rooftops and fences and filling tree limbs with dots of black. The eerie sounds of their conspiratorial crowing increases in volume exponentially as more and more arrive... hundreds of them... maybe thousands? Then in a moment the sky goes black!

"Ree Ree Ree!" goes the soundtrack in my head.... oh, wait, wrong Hitchcock movie. ;) Seriously, though, having seen the movie "The Birds" it's really creepy to be in Kosovo and to see and HEAR this phenomenon of black birds gathering at dusk and dawn. It's especially creepy after sundown when it's just pitch black and all you hear are hundreds of birds. Probably why I had bad dreams that night! lol.


At 6:15 the next morning I was startled awake by the sound of them gathering again on the rooftops... as I was having a really bad dream and still in a bit of a cloud you can imagine the shiver that went involuntarily down my spine! The sheer creepiness at watching them gather again. lol. Makes for a fun blog, though. Seriously, though, it's a really interesting sight to behold when they take to the sky. :)
