Holy Crap!!!

You should strap a video camera (pointed up) to your helmet.  That would be fun to watch.

I've been there too.  Apparently the area I like to bike through next to the beach is a bird sanctuary of some kind.  There was a whole flock of those little seagull birds diving for my head.  I finally took off my helmet and started swinging it around my head and I tried to pedal it back home.  Seagull squaking still freaks me out.  Birds are nuts.

Ha ha!  That's GREAT!  My two "bird attack stories":

We were at Sea World in Orlando several years ago.  We're eating ice cream cones as we walk along and a seagull flies in and lands on my head.  Just lands and decides to sit on my big, fat head like it's a pier!  "WTF?" I say to Amy who's on the ground laughing her off!  Even Gracie, 3 at the time, was cracking up!  I reach up, get a hold of the thing by the legs, pull him off my head and look him straight in the eye like I'm going to intimidate him.  The damn bird looks straight back at me and lightning fast beack-butts me in the nose!  He flies away leaving me with a little bloody cut on my nose.  Amy's practically peeing herself and Gracie's laughing out, "bird gave Daddy a nosey boo-boo!"  All I could do was just stand there like an idiot until it hit me and then join them laughing.

When I was about 9 I was walking from school to the babysitters house.  Walk in the yard and under the tree near the wood pile I see something.  It's a little blue broken egg and a baby bird next to it.  I didn't make the connection that it was a baby Blue Jay.  But when mama Blue Jay flew down, grabbed my scalp with her talons and started pecking at my skull, I made the connection all right!  I still remember that pain.  In a panic I reached out and grabbed the first thing I could get my hands on - a log from the wood pile and swung for the fences at that bird from hell.  I connected all right, straight down.  Crushed the bird and whacked myself in the noggin hard enough to knock myself out cold!  Babysitter comes running outside after hearing me screaming and sees me on the ground, unconsicous, head bleeding, a dead bird and feathers everywhere!  What to think?  I woke up in the hospital to embarrassed to tell anyone the truth at what happened.  Dumb-arse kid!

I haven't done so well with birds in my days.
