Attack of the Killer Birds
Posted by James Maguire

Has anyone been by the Custom House on the Fore Street side? Did you hear anything odd? I did. It sounded like the attack of the Flying Monkeys or jungle noises in a Tarzan movie. It was more like the screeching and chattering of birds, very big birds. I think it’s a recording, a loud one, intended to make real birds reconsider plans to deposit guano or, worse yet, build nests on the building and (oh, God, dare I say it?) rear their young. Does bird poop dissolve granite? Is it a remake of Hitchcock's classic? If you know what’s up, drop me a line. Facetious replies are welcome.

"Rear their young" - that's not an odd thing to say unless you insist it is.

By the way, it's not a recording - it's a live performance. Just watch out for the groupies.
