So Werner Herzog, and Paul F. Tompkins’s impression of Werner Herzog are folding into one. Singularity indeed…
Herzog is fucking hilarious, I love him.

You can call Kinski a lot of things, but chicken? How so?
Actually, we do have grackles in California. I regularly see Great Tail Grackles in Southern California in places where they can forage from outdoor diners. However, we don’t get the enormous swarms like happen elsewhere in North America.
Since Southern California always has to have a more compelling media image, we have large flocks of Parrots instead.
Those are probably monk parakeets. Hate to break it to you, but Chicago has had them since at least 1973. Yes, with our winters. They build condos for nests so they can cluster together to keep warm. They’re much hardier than they look.
They’re also ridiculously loud and POOP as if they’re 10 times the size.
OH, even smart men can be bigots
Then again, Werner never met Liza. Respect the chicken.

Back in 1973, the last thing they saw before the explosion on Flight moo27 was the ‘no smoking’ light going out and Betsy lighting up a menthol Kool.
That’s why smoking isn’t allowed on planes today.

Thanks for sharing that!
The most common Southern California parrot is the Red-Crowned Parrot, with a bunch of other formerly exotic but now endemic birds joining the flocks.
While I admire the Monk Parrots hardiness ( and apparent preference for coffee if U Chicago is a preferred nesting ground), the Red-Crowned Parrot’s fashion sense reveals that it knows it is much more likely than a Monk Parakeet to show up at the Oscars 
Thanks for keeping the ID straight. I am at work and hurriedly grabbed a picture from a local news story to show parrots flocking. I should have looked closer. Bad on me for assuming the paper had it right

Liza was a good Christian chicken.
You think they just play stupid, huh?

Ooooh…those red-crowned parrots are pretty!
The difference between grackles and crows is that crows are smart. Damned smart.

LOL “the birds are in misery, I don’t think they sing, they screech in pain”
That’s what I was talking about! (see my post above)
