Let's Talk About: Birds

You probably know by now that I hate birds. HATE them. They scare the ever loving crap out of me. I think  I inherited it from my grandma, who is also terrified of birds.

Here are some reasons why I don't like them:
- One word. TALONS.
- That beak could cut you. Big time.
- Beady little eyes.
- They poop all over the place. Especially geese. And pigeons.
- Large birds are even more terrifying. Ostriches are downright dangerous.
- They try to attack you sometimes. We had barn swallows that nested under our deck growing up and they would dive bomb your head.
- They wake me up in the morning with their annoying noises.
- CROWS CAN REMEMBER YOUR FACE. Proof. Now try to tell me birds aren't scary.

So with those things in mind, look at this picture that Jestina sent me from when she was in Asia.


Not okay. Those birds. Just. It's not okay. What is that black one even? An Asian duck? Those pigeons need to cut it out right now. I would be making the same face as Jestina in this picture times 100,000. I would probably be in a coma from sheer terror.

I just don't like birds.

Why are all of the pigeons white?!?!

Oh, hey! I remember this. I remember thinking it would be a good idea to feed them until they started to feed on me. I chalk it up to it being Swu's fault. Yes, thank you.

I dislike birds as well. Actually, I have a fear of any thing that swarms. Like cicadas or crows.

a bird pooped in my hair once, at Disney World. I never had a problem with birds until that moment. Yuck!

I just can't type.. I can't.. laughing too hard. It's problematic with blogging.

That picture, that picture. That Zilla, those effing birds. I hate birds.

Celeste Aslanyants said...

Okay, I am terrified of crows. Terrified. And I think that article about them memorizing faces and mobbing people may have scarred me for life. At least I now know my fear is justified.

Omg, hilarious! I also hate birds which is unfortunate since I work at a zoo. I had a way too close encounter with a flamingo once and I refuse to look those assholes in the eye ever since.

That black one wants to eat Jes alive. So gross. Birds are so gross. And mean. I was attacked by a roster. Hate birds!!!!

Lindsay said...

I HATE birds too! I am terrified of them! Two birds, yes two, have flown into my head since moving to California.

Twiggs! said...

what the heck is she feeding them? mentos?

All Things Luxurious said...

Lol! You are too funny! I don't like birds, either, but I do like old photos or artwork with birds. But not around me. Just, no.

Makaila said...

i HATE bird. HATE THEM. Why? Because they fly! Suddenly! Unexpectedly! They are unpredictable, and I hate them. So, I'm with you. :)

Dusty said...

at least she has the bun.

Shannon said...

The bun can protect you from ANYTHING I tell you.

Shannon said...

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I do not like unexpected things. Especially if they include a bird flying up at my face.

Shannon said...

I don't even really like PICTURES of birds! My grandma has this wall clock that makes bird noises at every hour and that thing terrifies me.

Shannon said...

I sure hope she's feeding them Mentos. They would explode.

Shannon said...

This is a sign that you need to move to Omaha where birds rarely fly into peoples' heads, but often fly into windows.

Shannon said...

I cannot even imagine. I went on a farm once with guinea fowl and nearly had a heart attack after they chased me into a barn. I nearly died.

Shannon said...

Our zoo has peacocks that roam freely. I will never go to the zoo without another person for protection.

Shannon said...

They just sit up there studying your face. I've concluded this after reading that article.

Shannon said...

That pictures terrifies me every time I look at it. I am so glad Swu snapped it.

Shannon said...

Oh god. I can't even imagine. They are so dirty and gross.

Shannon said...

Bird flu. It's an epidemic.

Shannon said...

This is so true. Swarms of bees, cicadas, birds, all of it. Just no.

Shannon said...

IT IS VERY A LOT HOT OUTSIDE.

Shannon said...

They're Asian pigeons. Or something.

Lindsay said...

Birds are assholes!
