Other animals may attack our benighted race if something is happening to their envronment, or if there are too many of them.. because of some odd quirk of nature.
Everyone remembers the case of Nat Hocken, a Cornish farm hand. One night Nat woke to an eerie tapping at his bedroom window. Who could it be? Nat slept up the stairs, as civilised people tend to do. The tapper was a bird bent on destruction. The next day the family of Nat suffered frequent shameless attacks by raging hordes of swarming birdies. Daphne wrote a short story based on the incident. The grewsome ordeal of the family on the Cornish coast touched the hearts of men. Alfred made a movie based on the story in 1963. It starred a Tippi Hedren, the mother of Melanie Griffith. Tippi came from the North of Minnesota. He was of Swedish descent. There are many Swedes in that part of the world. They had come to America to escape the famine of the 1860s. The script was written by Ed McBain alias Evan Hunter. Evan was the best mystery writer since Freeman Wills Crofts. I tell the story because I have been also attacked by birdies. They were altogether an another breed of birdies though. |
