...or just a mass pigeon suicide? This afternoon a pigeon flew into my window and killed itself, not a particularly unusual event but when I went outside to clear up the flying rat a pair of them dive bomb past my head and whacked themselves out on the window hard enough to leave a bloodstain. So three dead pigeons in less than two minutes, anyone had something like this happen before?

you must have done something to upset the flying vermin as it was a clear message and if I were you I'd watch my back for the next several weeks

I immediately envisioned a pigeon flying through your open window landing on your desk, then pulling out a snub nose .38 and blasting its head off. The part about the birds whacking themselves with so much vigor is another matter.

I had this happen yesterday, three of them just whacked the window. Didn't leave blood, but left feathers stuck to the pane. I think they think it's an open hole in the wall and that they can fly through.

our windows at work have about 4-5 bird outlines where they've smacked into different windows in my area. Looks like chalk outlines at a death scene. One morning dove actually died.

You didn't happen to notice Tipi Hedren anywhere nearby, did you?

Dunno, but capture one and mail it to me willya. Got a flock of about 100 living on top of a hotel near to me, and the authorities hinted that pigeon season is kinda closed on the beach here. Hopefully they'll catch the disease and start suiciding on tourists windows.
