Aggressive Birds

[Lord Buckethead]

I once missed football training for a dying bird. Was given lots of homophobic abuse for a few years due to this.

Never forgived birds since. Shitehawks.

I'm sorry to hear that your negative experience with a bird has put you off them for life.

I was a major lover of them. Then that happened and also been mugged off by a friends parrot before so just not a fan.

There's nothing worse than a gobby bird mate. They come out with all sorts of inappropriate banter which can hurt your feelings.

Had some Turkey vultures roosting near our house a few years ago. They are protected in the USA. They proceeded to eat all the rubber collars off the toilet waste vent pipes across the house. Then they started on the rubber on the car... ate all the surround off the windscreen and moved to the doors - thankfully it was a work rental.

Accidentally caught a seagull while crab fishing with the kids in Cornwall may years ago. Dangled the line over the sea wall, the gull swooped in for the bacon on the end of the hook and got its wing stuck. It went mental. It was screeching and trying to fly away. I drew a small crowd, the kids were crying. Utter nightmare. Fortunately it managed to free itself and flew away, with the bacon, apparently unscathed.

The humble Australian magpie is incredibly aggressive during Spring. I got swooped by one last year, even though I was wearing a baseball cap it managed to draw blood.

It can be entertaining watching Lycra clad cyclists get knocked off their bikes like.

Geese and swans are both really agro, good job they both eat well

My girlfriend when I first arrived in Australia lived on a farm and they used a goose as a guard dog. It was an incredibly aggressive/nasty bugger called George, went for me every time I stepped outside.

Speaking of the Australian magpie, this happened just down the road from me. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10...s-leaving-gippsland-man-hospitalised/12767868

A Victorian Man??
Christ! How long do people live in Australia?
I thought it was all dingoes eating people and deadly spiders hiding under every toilet seat?

I usually dip the chip in curry, they squawk like mad and head out to sea to die.

Fixed mate.
