During the fall/winter, Ukraine has a huge population of blackbirds or "varrronas (extra r's were included for emphasis)". They.are.everywhere. Especially in the villages where they find more food. I absolutely love birds, so I don't find this a problem. Well, sometimes it's creepy. Like this morning I was walking with Yula to sadik and a group were flying overhead, sitting on the trees, and sitting on the fences. There was a moment where I thought, "Man, I kind of feel like I live in Bodega Bay. If these birds just decide that they want to peck my eyes out, where is the nearest phone booth so I can protect myself. The better question is, what would Melanie Daniels do. Oh, that's right. She goes b-a-n-a-n-a-s at the end of The Birds. Well...I guess I can just run for my life."
So. The point of all that rambling is that if you're terribly afraid of birds, I wouldn't come to Ukraine anytime soon. The end.

Yep. That's about right.
