Birds Vs. Zombies
In preparing for my upcoming lessons on the short story "The Birds" (for my 9th grade English classes), I had to actually read the story for the first time. It was amazing ... MUCH better than the film version. The short story is very much like NOTLD, with a family having to board themselves up in a farmhouse against waves of attacks from birds. So, it's the same thing (almost) only with birds instead of zombies.
Which leads me to ask:
Since the threat of both birds and zombies lies in their numbers ... which of the two groups would win in a fight? Birds or zombies?
I think birds would, even though zombies are scarier. They have beaks and claws, the ability to fly, and can attack in massive groups without getting in each other's way.
