Strange break out

There seems to have been a breakout of strange pink birds in the last couple of days. They were noted gathering in several yards Sunday night. On one incident I heard that the homeowners tried to drive them off with squirt guns, but I don't know if their attempts were successful or not. I also hear that insurance can be purchased to prevent them from gathering in one's yard. And, also for a small fee they can be persuaded to gather else where.
