Let Ann-Margaret sooth your soul. Because after hearing this news, you're gonna need it. See, Swoops, the adorable and infamous blackbird who terrorized passersby from her perch outside City National Bank at Front and California streets, is gone. Or, so says a City National Bank employee who had a clear view of Swoops from his desk, who notices his absence this week.
According to Deb Campbell, spokeswoman for the San Francisco Department of Animal Care and Control -- who tells CBS 5 that the "department received numerous calls about the blackbird" (may a piano fall on the heads of those of you who called the SFDAC to rat out Swoops) -- "such protective behavior from birds is common at this time of year and that in most cases, when the baby birds leave the nest after three or four weeks, the attacks on pedestrians cease."
If you recall, Swoops made national headlines for her protective nature. Attack Bird Chronicles has a nifty video retrospective of the little fella.

Swoops was tasty. Needed a little Sriracha, ginger and fish sauce but was surprisingly tender.
It's true. I walked by 2 days ago, half wanting to experience getting pecked in the head by the little black birdie, and she's gone.
Robin's comment reminds me of how homeless people in Philadelphia used to roast pigeons on the eternal flame.
If we're talking Ann-Margaret YouTubes, then how 'bout that scene in "Tommy" where she rolls around masturbating in detergent and baked beans?
Nobody ever asked me when I knew I was straight, but that's when I knew I was straight.
That video certainly is calling out for some blue-screen silliness.
Probably the baby had fledged. Every spring when the baby birds in my tree leave the nest, the parents disappear as well. Swoops will probably be back next year. So hang onto your protective head gear.
