It’s the end of the world, or something, in Woodside, where a flock of blue and white birds have been flying down and pecking at innocent employees outside an air-conditioning store. “I turned around, looked up, and there was this little bird and he kept coming at me because I have a ponytail. And he kept trying to climb into my hair like a nest,” a worker told NY1. A haircut probably won’t solve the problem, as cops came to check it out and were also attacked. Otherwise the birds just hang out on the roof next door or telephone wires. And wait.
