The Birds: It’s Not Just An Alfred Hitchcock Movie

Remember the Alfred Hitchcock's movie "The Birds"  It pretty much scared the ba-jeezes  out of me when I was a kid.  But this might be even scarier, because it really happened.

A radio host in Australia named Amber recorded herself riding her bike past a tree where magpies always fly down and dive bomb people.  The idea was to see if she could keep them from attacking by putting sticks in her bike helmet and drawing big, fake eyes on the back of it.

The sticks actually DID work, but the video is great because the eyes DIDN'T work.  Then when a bird started attacking her, she flipped out.

And I LOVE the scary music with the video.
