A divebombing blackbird is wreaking havoc in San Francisco's Financial District. It is also the hottest ticket in town for a free comedy act.
From mermaids to flying pigs check out these pictures of off-beat, interesting happenings from around the world.
The arian behavior reminds some of Hitchcock's "The Birds." Experts call the tactic "mobbing."
The blackbird in question lives on Front Street between California and Sacramento streets. It has been terrorizing people for a couple weeks by swooping down and attacking heads of people who just happen to be walking down the street.
The bird has gained international attention and is actually attracting crowds in the area as people gather to watch unsuspecting people get attacked in the back of the head. While those on the bad end of the bird's beak scream out, most observers find it quite comical.

This bird is protecting it's territory, lol!
I tried to put the video clip up but it wouldn't work.
I saw this on the news! It really stunned some people!
This is exactly what it is. He's protecting his territory.
I saw this on our local news. It's a hoot!!
Oh my those poor 'victims'. But it is funny to watch.
I've been dive-bombed by mockingbirds on a couple of occassions, but then those birds are very territorial!
Wow what a naughty bird glad the ones I have in my backyard dont do this kind of thing lol
If you have a feeder, they are very messy eaters, and love to scream as I walk out my door.
They do this when they feel threatened and need to protect their nest. It is that time of year, robins do this too but not to the same degree.
I watched this on the news. It was hilarious!
This is a funny story!
