when birds attack...

[kalliejenn2.livejournal.com]

just a wee warning to those passing through the powderhouse square area - there are a few mockingbirds (i think) that have built nests in this area, and they are quite insane in their quest to protect them.  i have been attacked twice this week when passing through the walkway area in the center of the rotary (nearest the funeral home) by a crazed bird, and i also witnessed a bird attack a dog over by the bus shelter by broadway.  it doesn't really hurt, just some pecking, but it sure scared the crap out of me, and anyone with children in particular might want to avoid these areas.

There's a nest near Cherry and Summer so that is another place to keep your eyes open. They are my favorite birds but they own the city of Somerville and they want you to know it! If you are really concerned, you can buy a white hat and paint eyes on the top of it - they will stay away for sure. :)

Mockingbirds own WHEREVER they nest! :D I grew up in Texas and I remember my grandparents' cats getting divebombed by mockingbirds if they so much as walked near a tree.

That'll keep the humans away too.
