A bird is attacking me

not really. but I'm just curious what you find scarier:
a happy ostrich or an angry penguin.

a pit of angry snakes
not just snakes but snakes when they are angry

angry penguin

weird...I just wrote about how I thought theyd be hard biters, in a SG group.

An angry penguin once cut me for laughing at his 'BulletBoys' t-shirt. Flightless waterfowl love hairbands and fucking despise haters...just be careful people.

Wounds caused by bird feces never heal. Ever.

And i didn't think ostrich were capable of feeling anything other than blinding rage.

A friend of mine was nearly knocked off of a peir by an angry pelican once. I suspect that was a fairly terrifying experience.

what'd your friend do to make it angry?

I was almost run through by an angry pelican once. I think it was sick.

Also, this thread seems to be at critical mass for awesome sentences.

I've seen a man punch an ostrich in the face because it was attacking him.

I'd be scared of Emperor Penguins, since they can grow up to six feet tall!!!!!!!!! That's rejerkulous.

I'm actually horrified of canaries and those talking birds flying around in rooms. It's the flapping of the wings.

Ostrich... I find them scary 24/7

No bird is harder than the NYC pigeon.

You wouldn't happen to have a source on that, would you? I'm skeptical, but I really hope it's true!

a angry ostrich is definately scarier, we all saw what happened on "dude, where's my car?"

ive been digging up the backyard in preparation to lay sod most of this week. there has been a Stellar Jay following my every move every day from a safe distance. i hope he doesn't attack me

Yeah I kinda made it up....

From what i understand, it was unprovoked. Birds just have shitty personalities.

penguins have really sharp beaks, incidentally they're also the softest thing i ever touched.
I've been to a zoo in germany once with some family where they kept small penguins behind a very low wall.
it was funny because there was this one penguin that did everything it could to be petted, it walked along with people on it's side of the wall and if you reached in it would run over and start rubbing against your hand, it was the softest thing i ever touched.
the funny part was that at the same time there was another penguin that for some reason tried to bite everyone to tried to touch the first penguin, it just sort of hung around and if you reached for the nice penguin the angry one would run over and start snapping at your fingers.
it didn't get me but it sliced my uncles finger open all the way along the length of the finger and my uncle barely touched it.

Aw, that's ok. Wishful thinking and all. They do get to be around four feet, though. Thant's a big damn penguin.

Four feet? I know. Imagine that shit in your doorway at four in the morning, huh?

I think I saw turkey buzzards soaring over the river today.
Are there buzzards/vultures in Minnesota???? I didn't think so.

A dark silhouette, the gleam of a beak........

The shadow lunges!

A bloodcurdling shriek is cut short with a gurgle..........

I know they're in GA, they're fuckin' huge!
I got circled by three of them once, and I thought they were going to attack, but I guess that's not really their style.
