I was a new controller and just assigned to my first duty station, Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona. I had a pretty good working relationship with my crew mate. It was slow and we had the radios on the speaker so we could use handsets instead of wearing headsets.
Out of nowhere we got a report of birds on the north side of the field flying south. So as is required of us, my crew mate starts making a cautionary statement for birds INVOF the airport. As he is doing this I screamed as loud as I could, “CAW CAW CAW.”
