That's one of the wonders of mother nature. Many species of birds are able to purge their systems when in peril so that they "lighten their load" and make flight and maneuvering easier and faster.

You oughta see a Whooping Crane do a strafing run! It is awe-some... it's looks like quarts of white glop laid down in perfect suppressing fire pattern. You'd be painted head to foot if they got you.

RE: Duck bombing run

Great stories! We had the same situation with geese taking over a parking lot at an office I worked at years ago. We used to watch out the office windows in the morning for people to park in a certain area near where a couple had made a nest and had eggs. Every morning some clueless person would park near there and the male goose would come tearing out and scare the hell out of the person.
Once the CTO of the company got out of his car and was literally attacked and chased to the office entranceway with the goose pecking him in the butt and legs the whole way! There were about 20 people watching from inside absolutely dying!
