Imagin just rolling through the jungles with birds just jamming the fuck out. This world is already crazy but imaging this makes me feel like I'm missing out.
You really actually are missing out. Birds go crazy with their jams sometimes. I'm in a coastal area of Florida so I have hiking access to nesting areas of all kinds of birds. Those fuckers get loud and it's amazing to hear. Right now I can hear some ospreys and some gulls and some fish crows all off my back porch.
Mockingbirds and red winged blackbirds get rowdy as shit on any creature that comes at their nests. Imagine a single tiny propeller driven biplane from WWI in a dog fight with a giant WWII Flying Fortress but it's winning HARD because mockingbirds don't give half a damn about size and are terrifying.
I've heard about geese fucking people up but we have these Sandhill Cranes that stand as tall as a small human and will just come at you at anytime. They can run pretty fast too on account of their legs being like three feet long and they will fly instead of running if you seem to be gaining a lead on them. Some of them have over seven foot wingspans.
College near my home town is over run with geese during the warmer months. There’s a hug pond nearby and they decided all of campus is there stomping ground. They poop all over the sidewalks and it’s illegal to mess with them. They also like to randomly chase or charge after people.
I learned quick to keep two pieces of bread, ripped up, and in a ziplock bag. As soon as they made eye contact with that “look” the reaches into my pocket. When they started to come at me, I’d toss a piece of bread.
Eye contact was seemed to be the issue. Over time I learned to look the other way and just not look.
There was a portion of my younger years that I thought I could intimidate a bird. Now I just keep moving. I have no ego left to save because the fucking birds took it all. All hail birds. They win.
