     @doot there's literally an entire website dedicated to logging attacks on cyclists by Australian Magpies to warn people since you do not want to get attacked by a bird while riding a bike https://www.magpiealert.com/

     @outie @doot a few years back there was an owl in Oregon that swore vengeance on all humankind, I think because it built a nest right next to a trail in a public park. Anyway, they had to create custom warning signs

     @naptowncode @funkula @doot similarly of course: anyone who's ever been seaside and observed seagulls descending upon some poor sod with a tiny plate of chips knows about birds

     @funkula @outie @doot My neighborhood has an owl that dive bombs early morning dog walkers, as testified by several gouged and bloody scalps.

     We call it the Fluffy Murder Ball and it probably weighs all of 5 pounds. None us would survive a scaled up 50x version.

     @naptowncode @funkula @doot I keep thinking about yon survey suggesting something like 80% of Americans think they could take a goose in a fight versus like 30% of Europeans

     which I choose to read as a second-degree expression of a gulf in childhood experiences of being chased by an angry goose as a toddler between the regions
