WTF is up with Birds?Follow

I hit one with my car the other day.


WHY? becausse the stupid fu[b][/b]cker was sitting there on a fence on the side of the road waiting for my car to drive by and then decides to fly directly in front of my car.


Now I see this kind of retarded frivilous behaviour in birds ALL the time. I'll see a crowd of them sitting on a fence and wehn a car drives by they seem to have a game where they try to fly across the street and before the car passses..

guess to get a cheap thrill....

now I've always assumed that they knew waht they were doing and that their instincts would not allow them to get hit... but TWICE now I've seen them actually get hit and run over... and have seen countless close calls... for the first time this summer. It's like their getting stupider.. either that or people are just driving alittle faster then they are used to.

either way.. it's just somthing I shake my head at.

Found this little tid-bit

from this web-site, chock full of road-kill tips.
SPLAT!

I wonder at those robins that sit in the middle of the street. What's there that could possibly interest a robin? I could see a couple blackbirds picking at a squished toad or something but, even after the rain, most worms don't hike out to the middle of the street to die. And besides, it hasn't rained enough lately to give a worm the chills.

Anyway, I assume the answer has to do with the cosmic awareness of the universe and the auras of psychic oneness that permeates our beings and gives us sentience.

That, and unicorns.

lol

maybe they were blue-birds :P

they didn't name it after "Chicken" for nothing.

well that goes without sayin' DUH

Just last week my buddy hit a bird, with me following in another car. All I saw was it fly straight up high, then drop. Laughed so hard.

You guys want stupid? Go to alberta and find some prairie gophers. On a road trip to BC, we found a road that had a ton of them. They literally pop out of the ditch, run onto the road, stop, and put their head straight up. Swerve hard if you want to hit.

Too much fun. Gives whack a mole a new meaning.

Emo birds. =/ A lot of people I know get depressed about hitting birds... why? Its their own damn faults! (The birds')

Well, I know I've been attacked by a couple birds walking even remotely near a tree that contained their nest. They'll literally swoop down and try to fly into your ear.

It's a protective instinct to attack a possible threat, usually amplified when eggs/baby birds are in the nest. And since Summer is coming, I'd guess that there are more baby birds around this time (but I don't have the bird mating calender with me at the moment to confirm).

If the fence you mention was near any trees, I'd say the bird may have been trying to protect its' nest. Otherwise the bird was just a dumbass.

Now if you really want to off some birds, build a glass skyscraper!
