Jeremy Zakis describes a sinister "battalion" of over one hundred cockatoos that have occupied the pine trees around his home in a formation reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. These large, white-crested birds are portrayed as destructive villains that show dominance by stripping tree branches and staring down residents. Jeremy recounts how they used their powerful beaks to snap brass cables on his bird feeder and expresses concern they may begin pulling nails out of his roof. Unlike other birds, these cockatoos appear to be calling for reinforcements to conduct a "full frontal assault" on the yard. (4/4)
