Birds

She’s not fixed yet. Waterford wouldn’t agree to come to the Gaelic Grounds anyway.

We ran out of large bottles of Smithwicks today after your crowd was down. I was gasping for one myself after. TG ye didn’t win or the tap would have been dry as well.

I can’t remember what thread @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy and myself discussed this before, but this evening while walking Harley the Wonderdog, I was attacked, attacked I tell you, by a bastard magpie. The fucker clattered against the back of my head and drew blood behind my ear. The fucker came back for seconds then and hit me in the same place again. It’s fucking sore.
Absolutely mental bastards. They are huge in size here as well. Spring here now, so they’re breeding. And apparently fucking dangerous.
I still love listening to their frankly bizarre singing in the morning.
Fuckers.

I remember being not long in Australia and driving past a woman on a bike who was under relentless attack from some bird. I assume it was a magpie. Bad bastards.

Had a postman I’d watch on his bike getting pinged by two magpies as he went up the road and same again on otherside going down the road every morning.

They’d take the eye out of your head, the cunts.

Why didn’t you dig the head off him?

Should have brought a hurley with him.

Or a sand wedge.

Or a sandwich?

They wouldnt really. They tend to attack the highest point. If you hold a stick above your head walking through a known nesting area, they tend to attack the top of the stick.

Also, if you’re directly looking at them, they tend not to swoop the cowardly fucks. That’s why you’d see lads with big stickers of an eye on their bike helmets, not that they work everytime with the cute cunts

Could have been plovers too which are more aggressive and dangerous.
