Startling, and somewhat disquieting. "The Coming of the Terror" by Arthur Machen, anyone?

Putting the cat(fish) among the pigeons
In southern France catfish (which can grow to 4-5 feet long) lunge out of the water to catch pigeons by the river Tarn. I watched the video: it looked as though they didn't always get a firm grip on the bird; but not for want of trying. Since catfish can live out of the water a little while, this isn't quite as difficult as it would be for other fish.

Those catfish know their WWI history then, don't they? They must have some tribal memory passed down.
I'd have sworn Hitchcock's The Birds was based on Machen's story, but Wikipedia says it was a story by duMaurier instead, and scanning the plot I agree.
