A couple of plovers while walking to the pool one day. Their chicks were for some reason in the gutter on the side of the road waddling about
Have you ever been attacked by a bird?

Visit the Farne Islands during nesting season and the Terns hammer your head. I was getting abuse from various hippies for using a plastic bottle to defend myself...but my mate had blood streaming down his head, and i didn't fancy that myself.
Got the odd chase off swans when younger but now I'm bigger they seem more reluctant. They'll just spread their wings and hiss. I'd also agree with whoever posted earlier that swans are bar stewards. They'll spend all day chasing smaller birds off a lake and trying to drown ducklings. To most people who know nothing about them they're a majestic bird. I despise them.

A budgie, two swans, a few seagulls and lots of pigeons.

I used to walk through a field to primary school every day in South Africa and there was a few plover nests around there, as you'd see them playing injured to lure you away from their nest, or dive-bombing you - depending on how close you were to the nest.

I've been failing at finding that vid again, I giggle like a girl whenever i've seen it.

Oh ehh.. Yes this morning - how weird!
There I was having a coffee and a breakfast tart when this porker of a bird grabbed my bits - bloody Essex birds!

Lol.. I was in Busch Gardens, Florida last year in a restaurant type place and food was pretty expensive and this woman comes to sit outside with a couple of slices of Pizza which cost about $10 and some pesky bird comes and nicks one of the slices and knocks the other one on the floor. Made everyone around laugh, except her of course.
