What would it be like to get a bird shot at you literally?

Post Reply New Topic

An actual bird with feathers and wings.

I imagine it would be a sparrowing experience.

Hmm... Toucan play at this game...

I would feel compelled to shoot back. After all, one good tern deserves another.

I wouldn't use too large a bird, though; that would be a little hawkward.

I don't know, but a bird did fly into my face once while I was standing on a train platform.

It sure made me finch.

It would most certainly be fowl.

What the flock? You must be stork raven mad. Using birds as darts is ill eagle. Beak air fowl or you’ll egret it later.

I think that first I would duck. And then I'd yell at the bird brain who had shot it at me, and tell the cuckoo to come out with their hens up. If they refused, I'd ask if they were chicken, and they would really have ruffled my feathers. Just the thought of it gives me a migration headache!

I got shot by a peligun.......made me owl

Happens in real life to folks on rollercoasters. Usually with small birds. But the famous male model Fabio had a bloody close encounter with a big fat goose!

... need more in-depth eggsplanations...

I once jumped over a gutter as a kid in a sort of mario-eqse way without realising a seagull flying low just above my head and i actually headbutted the bird and i heard it sqwark and it was like i just scored a coin. One of my favorite moments in life thus far.

Once when my ex and I were going down the road he grabbed his neck and started making a choking sound,I thought he was having a heart attack but then I noticed a pretty good sized dead bird in his lap.Somehow it came the open car window and hit him.It was a Cukoo bird, also known around here as a rain crow.

Interesting story but your ornithology is off.

We don't have cuckoo birds here in North America. Cuckoos are a European species.

You must mean "mourning doves" (so called because they make a mourning sound- usually in the morning -oddly enough).

Mourning doves are the bird species that are also called "rain crows" in the South (because they do their mourning thing after it rains often).

Nope,we have cuckoos and the call is different from a dove.

Hmmm... so there are North American cuckoos, but they apparently live mainly in the prairie Midwest. Not here east of the Mississippi.

A friend whose dad came from North Carolina used the word "rain crow" to mean "mourning dove".

He said that his Dad, a doctor, would come home from work and sit on the back porch with a glass a gin and would "commiserate with the rain crows" (ie whistle along with mourning doves), and that it would drive my friend his son "crazy".
