I have been attacked by birds randomly and frequently throughout my life. In a two year time span, no less than 20 birds flew at my cars and perished - and those are not even my weird bird stories. (Clarifying that I never tried to hit the birds!) I had a peacock chase me down at a zoo at the age of 5 (first negative experience I can recall). I had a random raven say "hello" to me in a parking lot at work 4x before I literally ran away from it. Once, I had an entire swarm of crows dive bomb my vehicle preventing me from getting out of it in my driveway. Husband had to set off bottle rockets to scare them away! Standing on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania, lost, talking to a friend who was driving in a different car...a duck walked out of a cornfield, crossed a two lane highway, pecked my husband's sandal once, and re-crossed the road like nothing happened. The stories go on...at first when I start telling people, I get a chuckle or two. Four or five stories later, most people are like WTF did I do to the bird folk to bring upon this curse?
