People In English Village Are Living Through A Bird Poo Nightmare

People in an English village are living an avian-fueled nightmare, but it's less like Alfred Hitchcock's classic horror flick The Birds, and a lot more like the scene in the classic Mel Brooks comedy flick High Anxiety that parodies The Birds.

According to BBC News, the folks in the village of Great Gonerby in Lincolnshire, England thought it was pretty cool at first when thousands and thousands of starlings started congregating in the area.

They thought it was pretty amazing to see so many of the birds flying around overhead.

However, everything being coated in bird poo? Less amazing.

"Everyone found it fascinating to start with but now they’re fed up with it," one villager told BBC News.

Alright. I get that. No one likes being target practice for a bird trying to drop its cloaca's payload. I've had people tell me getting clobbered with bird s--t is good luck, but I'm skeptical of that.

However, if it's true, the fine folks of Great Gonerby and the surrounding area are some of the luckiest people you'll ever meet.

But just how  ̶b̶a̶d̶ lucky could it all be?

"Even just going out the front door you end up with poo on your hands because it’s all over the handles," local resident Katie Emmett said.

Alright, definitely not lucky.

That's why some residents are taking preemptive measures and covering their cars to make sure their rides aren't coated in feces when they go outside first thing in the morning.

"It’s a pain but it’s whether you want to see out of your windows in the morning," resident Jonathan Brown said.

"They’re [the birds ] a thick black cloud, and you can hear them and you can hear the showers of poo coming down."

That's… that's just awful.

I would be covering my car at night. I used to hate having to scrape ice off of my windshield. 

I can't even imagine not being able to find a scraper and having to use a credit card to scrape feces off my windshield.
