Mitch Brenner: I think we're in trouble. I don't know how this started or why; but, it's here and we'd be crazy to ignore it.
Mrs. Bundy: To ignore what? The bird war?
Mitch: Yes, the bird war! The bird attack, plague, call it what you like, they're massing out there someplace and they'll be back, you can count on that!

Literature
Beware the Jubjub bird,
Leliana: But a bird is a creature of grace, and beauty! They open their mouths and they sing!
Shale: The bard hears music. I hear a wail of banshees that boils my blood.
Leliana: But... what about a nightingale? Or a swan?
Shale: They are not pigeons, it is true. Still? Evil beasts of the sky.
No… You’re NOT marshmallows, are you? Look at those cold avian eyes. Those talons. Those razor sharp beaks. You’re little killing machines, aren’t you? Yes… Go to sleep my little killers. Mommy’s got a big day for you tomorrow…

Pearl: I know the ducks here are adorable, but don't trust them. They're pure evil.
Marina: Uh... Thanks for the tip.
It's a lovely morning in the village, and you are a horrible goose.

Everyone thinks they're such sweet little things. (Ducks, ducks. Quack quack, quack quack)
Soft downy feathers and nice little wings. (Ducks, ducks. Quack quack, quack quack)
But there's a poison I'd like to administer, you think they're cuddly, but I think they're sinister.
