Killer Birds

[speed freek]

lol no but i was once running pushing myself quite hard and i wasn't exactly paying attention to the path ahead and i nearly ran smack bang into a deer that was standing on the path.... It just stood there even when i was running towards it... Scared the s**t out of me when i looked up though! I had to take major evasive action.

Heheheh, i can just imagine it, poor fella being chased down the road by a really pissed off duck! You gotta stop eyeballing em mate!

Can't say that I'v been confronted by a thug-duck, but I hope i don't coz they tough mother f"£$ers - don't mess with em, just walk on by, carry a bat next time.

Being attacked by a Duck.... you were probably attacked by a brooding Female who was protecting Eggs or Chicks.

As for Sea Gulls... All varieties are becoming aggressive....because of ease with which they can find food waste on land fills. They have evolved so that they no longer need to feed in their natural habitat, the sea, its easier to rummage a tip than to fish in the sea.

This is becoming more prevalent at the sea side where the uneducated visitor will feed squadrons of gulls from the safety of their cars with little thought for the little child ,who is about be attacked by a Black Backed Gull, for his sarny....

So Please don’t feed the bastards.... and pass that onto to the rest of the good willed population
Gulls are the Rats of the sea
Aye

Hey AequitasBellum,
I know all about the winged demons mate. I've been attacked more times than I can count. In Australia there are Magpies everywhere and in the spring through to summer they routinely attack anyone who comes near their nests. Their mode of attack is known as 'swooping', and as the name would suggest they swoop silently from the heavens and peck the sh!t out of you as you run by. Not pleasant, and difficult to combat as they are a stealthy and cunning adversary who usually swoop when you're facing the other way.
My old enemy...... I hate them, lol.
Josh.

AAHH Memories.
When I were a lad we used to feed the little Guilimots who would fly by our boats.When it got real cold they would pass and take a herring out of your hand.Brrrr.... Fark that now.
Still, fond memories.
