I've just started a blog on life in Melbourne and since I wrote a post on magpie swooping I've put a link to your experience on my page, which is at http://diggingindownunder.blogspot.com/ if you're interested in linking to it.<br /><br />I hope you've fully recovered from the shock now!<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />JMJohn Meynellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961688688424696895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583781795715610525.post-14982019571085435572011-10-03T15:04:20.598+11:002011-10-03T15:04:20.598+11:00They had a story on the news this summer about thi...They had a story on the news this summer about this happening in Grand Rapids outside the art museum.

I was trimming trees and one came out of the tree squawking (I did not know what was attacking me) so I ran. I ended up falling on my hand with the cutters in my hand and broke a bone in my hand. Pat had to take the rake and knock the birds off my back while I was on the ground. I also covered my head thinking they were going to peck out my eyes. This was just before Christopher's wedding. I remember the movie "The Birds" which was pretty weird. If you don't know what this movie is about, check it out at your library. Getting attacked by birds is no joke. It is quite scary and I still am not over it. When I see birds out by the garden when I want to go pick some vegetables, I am always clapping my hands to scare them away.A.

I know there are websites and phone numbers you can contact if there is a particularly violent bird in your area, but I'm not sure about the rules for taking one down yourself. How would one go about doing that anyway?!AubreeKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749152869365996420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583781795715610525.post-18909803808454968132011-10-01T05:57:17.158+10:002011-10-01T05:57:17.158+10:00Is it self defense if you take a bird out
