You may have seen this story before, because it’s not new;
it’s just that it’s back in the news now because of CNN’s broadcast story of
the phenomenon yesterday. The birds are back! Black ravens by the thousands.
What is it about Kentucky that’s attracting hordes of
ravens? They swarmed in Shelbyville during the spring of 2010, and now they’re
swarming in La Grange.
Lots of them. And along with the birds comes bird poop. Lots
of it. Some of the residents there said they have to run indoors when the birds
arrive, and that the sound of their whitewash splattering on the ground, on
their cars, on their roofs, and on their umbrellas sounds like rainfall.
‘Cept it ain’t rain. It’s more stinky.
Pastor Paul Begley, on the website, Rapture in the Air Now, calls gatherings such as this signs of
Jesus’ coming. The “times of the Apocalypse” are upon us. I’m not sure he’s
right, but then again, who knows for sure?
The swarm of birds? Or the swarm of religious opportunists?
Which is worse?
Either way, it’s a sign that the Apocalypse is near. Shades
of Alfred Hitchcock and Betty Boop! Good E-e-evening. Poop-poop-pi-doo!
