Why do birds circle your head when an anvil drops on it?

Question

I think Alien has forgotten what fun is. Mind you, if you are going to call your child Alien, you are bound to be a bit bitter.

Answer 1

for the same reason your thumb inflates 2000% when you hit it with a hammer

Answer 2

because elephants were to big

Answer 3

I was wondering that just now too! But I worked it out. You see birds have a really good sense of humour (better than Alien's anyway) and when they see an Anvil or piano or generally heavy object dropping from the sky and about to hit someone, they like to get to the scene quick and watch, and flying around in circles going tweet tweet is just how birds laugh.

Answer 4

thats not real it only happens in cartoons

Answer 5

Can't say really, as it never happens to me Darling..beep beep.....

Answer 6

Because you are dead and they want to pick at your remains

Answer 7

once it hits you're a convenient ready minced food scource if they happen to be carnivores

Answer 8

that's only in cartoon you make it sound real douchebag.

Answer 9

Is it cos the 'twit-twitter' sound of birds is somehow associated in cartoons with being stunned?
