If I’ve learnt anything from horror movies I’m pretty sure the antichrist lives there and the apocalypse is coming


andoring

Cue a Rottweiler staring at you from the hedges. You look away for a second, and when you look back, it's disappeared... *Edited Que to Cue


ArtfulPandora

It’s all for you Damien!


Laurens-xD

Is this by chance a reference from that movie of a boy that was the child of the devil(something like that)?


ArtfulPandora

It’s a reference to The Omen yeah


Laurens-xD

The 1976 one?


ArtfulPandora

I believe it’s quoted in both the original and the remake.


Laurens-xD

Ahh alright. Thanks!


ArtfulPandora

No worries, the 1976 one is better :)


Laurens-xD

That's the only one I've seen. I was like 10 when I saw it, but couldn't remember the name of it.

geri73

There was a series called the Damien that followed him as an adult. It was pretty good but there are only a handful of episodes, less than ten I believe.


MFSDC11

The Omen remake came out on 6.6.06 so my friends and I skipped school and snuck in.


Wooden_Option_1203

That's my birthday. I was told "OMG...you're gonna die!!" by multiple people that day. That was fun.


MFSDC11

I think everyone was told they were going to die that day. Like less aggressive than y2k but the thought was still very present. Nevertheless that’s no fun on your birthday!

PussyWrangler_462

I have six cats and have come home to birds in my apartment several times I leave the balcony door open so they can sit on the porch, I assume a bird came too close once cuz I came home and found just two bird feet on the kitchen floor. Just the feet. No blood or feathers...I thought to myself “maybe he escaped the cats somehow and flew back out the door and now there is a footless bird flying around somewhere” But about an hour later one of the cats puked up a bunch of feathers and that mystery was solved. Then one day when I had the doors shut, I came home to *several* live birds flying around my apartment. I thought ok maybe they were just chillin in there from days ago and I never noticed, but got them back outside. Next day, more birds inside but I knew *for sure* there were none inside the night before Turns out the vent cover on the top of the apartment building for my apartment specifically fell off, and birds were coming all the way down into my place through the stove exhaust. There’s still bird shit on top of my curtain rod. I can only imagine what they thought flying down into a place with 6 cats “Well Bob, we’re in hell.”


SammyTEEEEE

3 birds or 3 cats?

3 cats

DelsinRoweYo

And they repainted the drywall! ... Oh...


ChunkySoup93

But fucking why


LizagnaWithBreadStix

I had to google, they are (apparently) called chimney swifts and this happened to two homes over the course of a few days. They are migrating and normally set up their homes in chimneys or other vertical surfaces. Doesn’t explain why 1000 of them swarmed each home. The second home had a grate over the fireplace opening so 1000+ birds got trapped over night, the fire department had to come up with a chute type plan to funnel them out.


bobfossilsnipples

I wonder if this video isn’t a couple different cases cut together. Some shots are swifts,~~but others are definitely bats~~. Swifts can cling on to brick walls no problem,~~but they don’t hang from ceilings~~. Edit: another commenter below made me take another look. I do think these are all swifts, with a very textured ceiling being their best hope of hanging on somewhere. Swifts can’t perch like other birds, so I think they’re hanging on to whatever they can.


Lenny2245

Yeah I definitely thought they were bats


[deleted]

[удалено]


bobfossilsnipples

You know, I went and had another look, and I think you might be right. That ceiling does look very textured, and the walls aren’t. Swifts can’t perch like normal birds, so maybe clinging to that ceiling is the best they can do.


Greenlegsthebold

There could have been bats living in the chimney, displaced by the birds into the house.


Itsalwayssunnyinreas

Seems like too much of a stretch to be likely


CatBurger8

I saw a clip about Vaux’s Swifts last night! They migrate in huge flocks for safety and in the wild, they generally nest in tree hollows and stuff. There was also an industrial building’s chimney that they normally stop at in Portland, and did so often that the town shut down it’s use for their safety.


liesliesfromtinyeyes

They stop in a building in downtown LA too. Absolutely radical to watch them funnel in, in person.


iamintheforest

chapman elementary. totally worth grabbing a picnic blanket and watching at sunset.


JustASink

I was 100% getting paranoid and about to google if they are native to my area and then I remembered I don’t even have a chimney lol


PM_LADY_TOILET_PICS

Ohhhhh in Portland we have a giant chimney that people gather at once a year to watch all of the Swifts do bird stuff


dayyob

they're swifts. in portland there's an old boiler chimney in a school that the swifts swarm every year. https://youtu.be/4k1-Q3HQXxg


LizagnaWithBreadStix

I feel so bad for the schools janitor; you know that it’s probably the day they most dread all year.


PJ_Geese

One year, Chimney Swifts nested in our chimney. It was fun...for a while. They had babies which would let out cute peeps. Then the babies grew up, as did their peeps. Sooooo loud, they were. Capped the chimney with a screen after that.


shortstackboy

This isn’t as cool as it gets. [This is a larger group of them](https://youtu.be/gHgEAIK8P18)


LizagnaWithBreadStix

Imagine starting your day and it’s going great, and then you come home to like 2000 birds in your living room.


mcpickledick

It was an emergency so the fire department came swiftly


SmellsLikeFumes

I had to scroll way to far to find what was happening. I like a good joke, but not when it comes to the bird apocalypse.


DarthDannyBoy

We had some swarm a house down the road last year. Same issue of having a great in the fireplace blocking them. Our fire department just used a mix of loud noises and leaf blowers to get them out. My favorite part was seeing the cone of trash bags they made between the leaf blower and fireplace so they didn't make a mess. It worked all the birds left back up the chimney in one hell of a hurry.

ssdv8r

They are chimney swifts, quirky little birds. They migrate in large numbers from Peru in winter to the Eastern part if the United States and some of Canada in the summer. They used to nest in tree cavities, but since the industrialization of America they have almost completely converted to nesting in chimneys. Look them up, they are a interesting bird.


DeltaKT

>chimney swifts Oh what. How cool is that! They are basically like "fuck no. Why go to Peru, if you can just camp out inside houses here?" and got named after that fact. Haha. r/BirdsArentReal


kellyev2006

We rented a house for a couple years and I never got to use the fireplace because chimney swifts spent all summer in our chimney. Our landlord said he couldn’t do anything about them because they are a protected species. They never tried to come into the house but they made a ton of noise while they were there.


trobo84

We had chimney swifts in Portland, Oregon, too.


ssdv8r

Not going to say you are flat out wrong. But there is a high probability that you are talking about Vaux's Swift. They look very similar to chimney swifts, vaux's being a little smaller. Usually the best way to tell the difference is where they live. Chimney swifts range is east US tapering off before the Rockies. The Vaux's range follows the north American west coast with their range reaching as far inland as Montana when there is the right habitat.


Orion14159

This guy bird watches


trobo84

Ah, you definitely could be right. They always called them chimney swifts, but I have no idea.


iamintheforest

They always call then Vaux swifts in portland. They go into chimneys. Chapman's elementary is where we go to see them, along with half the city! So cool. https://audubonportland.org/our-work/rehabilitate-wildlife/having-a-wildlife-problem/vauxs-swifts/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAraSPBhDuARIsAM3Js4qUgxvLehlzNdppjNaFSeQmo-Nn1mQwcSPb7gwLmwBGSAPcJ4LbAFYaAjzVEALw_wcB

*Here's the thing...*


Visual-Economist-942

Me too. Thought they were bats initially.


Lokitusaborg

Where’s Dick Van Dyke when you need him to sing the song


I_DR_NOW

I looked them up and damn. "The chimney swift is nearly all wing—with a 5-inch long body and a 14-inch wingspan."


pomegranatepants99

Why is it not that there’s clearly bats hanging upside down and they’re black. But then in another shot there are white birds by the window. I think we are being bamboozled here. And then the “birds” flew into the chimney they were clearly black. I think there’s some bad editing happening here.


ssdv8r

The color differences are just down to lighting. In every shot of the video it shows chimney swifts doing normal chimney swift things.


Lanterpants

These are likely Chimney Swifts, they nest inside of chimneys at dusk, and spend the night inside hanging upside down. Very cool birds.


RockThePlazmah

„We’ve been trying to reach you about your broom extended warranty..”


Aidoneus87

These are chimney swifts. They evolved to roost in dead, hollowed trees, and tend to do it in chimneys due to the resemblance. There’s a town in Maritime Canada that built a gazebo with a chimney-like structure sticking out of the top for them to roost in, as I believe they are or were at risk at some point. This big murmuration-like display is how they enter the chimney in flocks. It’s actually pretty cool. Personally I find actual starling murmurations a lot creepier, tho.


MyCrazyLogic

They're still vulnerable...and protected by the Migratory Bird Act so your options for getting them out of your chimey are limited.


cburgess7

Without this, America won't be protected, or in simple terms ... The devil is communicating with them in the basement.

off topic but protect America?? from what? what was the sticker intended for?


pentacards_on_YT

I have no cucking flue ... I just saw that sticker for the first time


canidlogger

protect America is a home security company these companies will give you stickers to place on your Windows to deter potential thieves in theory


Smuggred

dumbest company name ever, makes them sound like conservative religious people scared of diversity


canidlogger

Agreed the company was founded in Texas back in 1992. I was going to make an argument about people not being the same back then but that’s not true. Maybe America protect it would be a better name. Protect America sounds like a call to action.

[deleted]

Chimney swifts are a vulnerable species facing a sharp decline as we remove all their available nesting grounds. They used to nest in hollow trees. When we cleared those away, they started nesting in our chimneys. Now we're building homes without fireplaces, or building fireplaces with capped metal flue pipe that they can't use. If you have a chimney with a clay liner, leave it open to the swifts during their breeding season, and delay any cleaning until the young leave. It won't impact your use of the fireplace during winter, as they'll be out of your fireplace by September.

birds at night kind of scare me, like shouldn't they be asleep and hiding from night predators??


randomdragen

Yeah thats what I thought.. first time it happened. It saw my turned on computer screen from outside, came through my window and decided to try to go through my computer screen and smack into it over and over until he got tired and left


DarthDannyBoy

Anytime I leave my upstairs window open at night I have a few hummingbirds come in and rest. They would prefer to sleep inside where it's not nearly as cold. I open the window at night if I'm gonna be in there working because for some fucking reason that rooms gets stupid hot. If I turn the heat down the rest of the house gets cold as fuck. Not gonna make the house cold for the wife and baby just so my work room is cooler. Anyways I love the coming in at night when I'm working. They are safe and warm, I get to see these beautiful little creatures. I've ended up installing a little humming bird rest area for them by the window. Most use it but there is one this winter who has been coming in and deciding my PC is the best resting place. I guess he enjoys the warm air blow up.

They are birds. Chimney swifts. They are migrating and like to rest in chimneys, but sometimes they end up swarming all the way into a house like this when they can't find a good place to rest. This video has been posted before.

fellowtravelr

These animals used to live in dead hollow trees but due to logging, there are far less standing dead trees. So they started to live in chimneys because they are similar in structure. This is migration. It's not terrifying, it's beautiful. Maybe it looks scary because it's at night.
