The Birds Thousands of crows roosting at night in a western Ohio citys downtown have some residents comparing the landscape with the Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds as they work to drive them away. The crows troubling Springfield arent aggressive, as birds in Hitchcocks 1963 thriller were portrayed. But their overwhelming presence on trees and buildings causes concern over damage and potential health hazards from droppings, said Roger Sherrock, CEO of the Clark County Historical Society. The society operates the Heritage Center of Clark County, one of the buildings favored by the federally protected crows. It can be unnerving to walk outside and see thousands of crows on trees, buildings and everywhere, especially if youre familiar with Hitchcocks movie, Sherrock said. He estimates as many as 50,000 crows gather downtown after scavenging for food by day in fields surrounding the city of around 60,000, some 80 miles northeast of Cincinnati. bigstory.ap.org/article/d7be7820c9034f3d9c961bdfeaf78a12/countless-crows-droppings-rankle-ohio-residents
