Angry Birdcage

This antique birdcage was created by an unknown person during the mid-Victorian era. Holding the cage causes birds near the user to attack the user. The bircage also emits a faint scent of bacon. It is beleived, but not known, that this cage was the cause of the 1961 Capitola Birds Incident.

Origin
The exact origin is unknown.

In the summer of 1961 hundreds of birds attacked the town. Most of the birds were Sooty Shearwaters, a normally non-aggressive species that rarely comes to shore. Alfred Hitchcock was a regular visitor to nearby Santa Cruz and read about this episode. He went on to direct a film—The Birds—based on the idea of hundreds of birds attacking humans. The reason for this attack remained unknown for over 25 years until it was discovered that the birds had been affected by domoic acid, a toxin produced by red algae.
