At the time because it looked like it couldn't move right anymore (it was one of it's jumping legs) as a kid, I thought I was being kind and putting the thing down instead of it dragging around. I wasn't going around chucking frogs at the ground or yanking all the legs off of a Daddy Long Legs (both things I witnessed other kids doing), it wasn't meant as an act of aggression it was meant to be along the lines of a Vet shooting a Horse with a broken leg.
You know it's funny, the name actually came about because I was playing around in my head with conundrum word play and I took the word "backwards" and turned it into "wackbirds".
Now I think of it more as birds that are wack themselves, as in, "damn, that bird is wack!".
