As I was driving to work this Morning I was thinking do you think that the birds that line each side of the road and swoop down across the path of your car are doing it for kicks?
I noticed the what i shall refer to as the "Pro's" leave it to the absolute last minute and swoop really low to the floor and miss the car by a gnats whisker then just land on the fence on the otherside of the road and look around.
Then we have the less adventurous "intermediates" who swoop down low in front of the car but leave a good foot or so gap infront of the car and then scurry off into a bush on the otherside of the road in an embarassed way. You can almost hear them giggling and muttering "HEHE hope the Missus doesn't find out about that!!"
Then we have the absolute losers of the sport. We shall call them "pheasants". These really are the worst at the sport. They often pick the fastest vehicle on the road to practice with and its less a gracefull swoop under the car as a drunken waddle infront of the oncoming impending death! They basically suck at this sport and should give it up!!
So.... do you think they do it for kicks or are they just stupid and I've been watching to many cartoons?
i think they dare each other. cos like you say they all stand in a row and it's like 'you go first then i'll follow' but hey never do. they do it to me when i'm at work. but i don't react i just carry on going cos bird v bus. i know who's gonna win and its messy. saying that some pigeons were playing chicken with me yesterday. they were just sitting in the road. mind you i fink they were stupid
