Lili Taylor has changed my opinion on house sparrows forever.
In her first book, "Turning to Birds: The Power and Beauty of Noticing," released on April 29, the Illinois native and longtime New York resident with a lifetime of iconic film roles under her belt — spanning from "Mystic Pizza," "Say Anything," "I Shot Andy Warhol" and "The Conjuring," in addition to TV roles in "Six Feet Under," "Outer Range," and, soon, the second season of "Daredevil: Born Again" — refers to one of the world's most common birds as being not very nice to each other, "always bickering," and particularly disruptive to nesting bluebirds, aggravating her to such a degree that she bought a pellet gun at Dick's Sporting Goods in an attempt to take them down before realizing it would be too difficult to hit such small moving targets.
