Juggernaut learned first hand that feeding wild birds could be trouble some if not hazardous.

“Sure I watched the movie ‘The Birds' several times but to say 

my bird feeding may turn into a horror situation is somewhat farfetched 

but I am happy you brought up the subject of Hitchcock.  I am a fan of 

Hitchcock movies, my favorite movie is ‘The Rear Window' with James 

Stewart and Grace Kelley, I could watch that movie again and again,” 

Juggernaut was happy the topic was changed to Hitchcock's movies from 

bird feeding. 

“Well, the local library is screening the Hitchcock's movies, 

you can check out the timings on their website,” suggested Stanley. 

“Thank you for invitation and I respect and comply your rules 

on feeding wild birds now onwards , certainly I don't want to create a 

scenario like in the movie ‘The Birds' on the premises,” Juggernaut 

gave assurance to calm Stanley of his fear of rampage by the birds how 

ridiculous it may sound. 

When Juggernaut first met Stanley at the building parking lot, 

he reminded of somebody Juggernaut couldn't figure it out immediately, 

but then his lanky personality with carefully carved thin mustache, a 

small goatee and a tool belt around his hip, Stanley has a look of 

character Schneider played by actor Pat Harrington in 70's hit TV 

show “One Day at a Time.”  The resemblance between the character in the 

show and Stanley was remarkable; the way he talk, walk and twitch his 

mustache and his accent as if Stanley has intentionally molded his 

mannerisms around the  character Schneider as building superintendent 

from the show. Juggernaut almost asked Stanley whether he was aware of 

the character in the show but to be polite decided against it. 

Juggernaut gradually steered the birds with feed from the porch 

onto the sidewalk under the Plumeria tree.  Now he can enjoy watching 

the feeding frenzy from a distance and say bye bye birdies.
