View Full Version : I was attacked by a Devil Bird!

So, me and Gina were walking down the street, actually attempting to hunt down the ice cream man, when I heard a grunt-like squawk and felt something brush past my arm. I jumped and saw a flash of brown zip past my side and up on to a nearby roof. I looked up and saw this bird staring down at me. It was brown, kinda like sparrow colors, but bigger, like the size of a vulture or an eagle, with a long, thin tail and one of those big nast hook beaks for rending flesh. I kinda have a thing about birds, mostly w1aterfowl like geese though so I was only a little spooked. I looked up at this bird, fists raised, and he stared back down at me with his beady wee eyes.

With some encouragement and support, I gathered myself together and we continued on our mission for frozen treats. Next thing I know, there is a bloodcurdling screech, and the fucking devil bird dive bombs off the roof and swoops down at my head again! Luckily, my cat like reflexes allowed me to dodge it again, but I felt its razor sharp talons graze the top of my hair. So now, I'm completely freaked. I immediatley get away from the area, but I keep a constant watchful eye on the evil avian and HE KEEPS EYEING ME FROM THE ROOFTOP! We didn't find the ice cream man, so we turned around.

On the way back, I didn't see the bird on his rooftop perch, so I thought it was okay, and continued to walk back to the house. Next thing I know, the bird is bak, swooping down upon me again. That was it, I'd had enough. I took off up the street to the house. Gina decided she wanted to investigate what would make this bird do this, besides the obvious diabolical posession, and starts to poke around in the bushes where the bird flew to. Even though, I was petrified, I still felt the old chivalry inside, so I picked up a stick and stood a wary guard, to ward off the demonic creature shoudl it attack again. Fortunately it didn't. The across the street neighbors' flag did flap in the wind however, and from my reaction, an unfortunately feminine yelp, she knew that we should probably get back into the house before I was reduced to tears. As we walked up the driveway, the bird appeared on the rooftop again, and eyed me all the way inside.

Perhaps Hitchcock was right.

Birds scare me too, and the reasons they scare me are from incidents like this.

It sounds like a job for ....... LULU: The Bird Killer (http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=75&Topic=28657)

The way you described it, it sounds like it might have been a Peregrine Falcon.

Did it look like this? (http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/features/birdcam2000/gallery/gallery.shtml)

Either that or some type of winged wolverine, I haven't figured it out yet. Either way it was skeeeery!

I laughed so hard reading that story, there's nothing I can say to top it.

Actually, if it WAS a paergrine falcon you should make a note of it and let the audubon society know. They are relatively rare, although there are several nesting pairs around NYC (I once saw one dive bomb a pigeon midair outside my tenth floor apt window!). They usually don't divebomb people unless they're protecting a nest (I had a friend leading a climb once out in cali who unexpectedly ran into a nesting peregrine and had to come down because it started attacking him!), so it is possible that it is nesting in the area - if that is the case the audubon society will DEFINITELY want to know. at the very leat you might give them a call or Dr0p them an email to let them know - <a href="http://www.njaudubon.org/AboutNJAS/ContactUs.html">Contact the NJAS</a>.

It could also have been a red tailed hawk, which is much more common in the area, but I have never heard of them divebombing people. Bothe birds are mottled brownish, but the redtailed hawk is quite large, while a peregrine falcon isn't really a whole lot bigger than a pigeon. It also has a distinctive black mask on its face.

Birdman caught me on his property
He saw me trespassing his real estate
He reached into his pocket for a pistol
He came after me and pistol-whipped my behind

Birdman kicked my ass
Birdman kicked my ass
Birdman kicked my ass
Birdman kicked my ass

Birdman beat me to a pulp
He gave me a yell-down war hell ride
He told me that he was going to kill me if I don't get off his real estate
He gave five minutes to get in my Bronco and hit the rookie road

Birdman kicked my ass
Birdman kicked my ass
Birdman kicked my ass
Birdman kicked my ass

At 10:00 PM, I drove my Bronco back to Birdman's real estate
I jumped over his fence after dark
I picked up a brick and shattered Birdman's window pane
Birdman sighted me doing it and reached for his pistol
Suddenly, I jumped back in my Bronco and took off like O. J. Simpson

Birdman kicked my ass
Birdman kicked my ass
Birdman kicked my ass
Birdman kicked my ass
