What's with all the freaking robins?

I mean, really, aren't they supposed to come through as a herald of spring?

They are everwhere. Hordes of them. And if a group takes over a tree in your backyard, while you are enjoying the sunny temperate day..... then run, don't walk, into your house because they unleash a veritable torrent of bird shit.

Even the dogs run from the shit storm.
