I hate birds. All kinds of birds.... Flying rats are what I call 'em. Darn things crap all over everything AND they know darn well when I've got done washing my car or my bike... Next thing I know there's an acid eatin' blob on whatever. They all call rats a pest, maybe they should look at the flyin' kind. Darn birds.

Sooooooo I take it you are NOT in the local Bird Watching Club then?
I suppose that all depends on your perspective. Two Saturdays ago, I came as close to T-boning a Cow moose and a calf moose. Crossed the highway right in front of me. Granted, I was driving a 3/4 ton Chevy pick up, but they came out of nowhere, side by side. Never had time to touch the brakes. They were there and then gone. At 70 mph all I could envision was moose burgers for everyone...a totaled truck...and my *** in a world of hurt. I'll take a couple of birds on the scoot any day of the week. As long as it is not an ostrich.
Remember my first long road trip crossing Rt 6 in Pennsylvania, valley opened up, mountains in the background, road winding up thru, bird soaring... picture perfect and then the bird started getting closer and closer, I ducked down and the bird smacked me right in the face shield made it about 40 yards and pulled over. A guy in a car pulled in behind me asked if i was all right as I was moving my neck around making sure everything still worked I answered yes and ask if I killed it. He replied I don't know but I'm pretty sure I polished it off when it hit my windshield. You meet the nicest people on the road.
