In a scene reminiscent
of Alfred Hitchcock's thriller The Birds, a murder of crows has stoned several
expensive vehicles parked near a regional legislative body in the Russian
Urals, prompting internet jokes about possible political motives.
“When leaving the
office, I saw a group of drivers of ministers’ and deputies’ cars who were
moving chaotically and swinging their arms,” local lawmaker Maksim
Ryapasov wrote in his blog.
The drivers told the MP
that fuss was caused by crows that were grabbing rocks from the roof of the
building and “bombarding” cars with them for several hours.
The MP noted that there
is a “stone garden” on the assembly’s roof, which was set up under the
initiative of the legislature’s chairwoman Lyudmila Babushkina. Apparently, it
was those stones the crows used as weapons.
As a result of the “bird
protest,” the windshields of at least three cars were broken.
