This happened to me once while I worked as a Case Manager at an Independent Living Center. I went into a person's home who had pet birds flying around loose in his house. There was bird poop everywhere; I was never gladder to leave a place.

Put out a bowl of antifreeze.

I'm surprised it took this long.

My dad and I just talked about this....were they swooping and pecking or just flying near? If they were just flying near, like someone said earlier, it's a distraction from a bird that might be hurt. If they are swooping and pecking at you - well, maybe they didn't like the way your wife looked at them.

My suggestion - get a dog. Dog's have a way of nabbing birds right out of the air.

I heard rubber snakes work well.

Did it look like this?

Red wing black birds very territorial and can be out right mean. Had one on the 18th green at course I used to play in a shrub. When the pin would be in the right spot we would send someone over who has never played there before and watch them scatter as the bird would swoop on them. :D

No matter if you played bad or not that made the round fun.

Let's not forget the

AZ Cardinals :rolleyes:

Baltimore Ravens :banghead:

A red X? :hmmm:

Hehe, no those red wing black birds can get nasty. They like to hang out near a bass pond where I go fishing in the cattails. Last year one kept dive bombing me to the point were I was ready to go up to the truck and grab the shotgun. I managed to give it a good hard bitch slap with the end of my fishing rod which was enough to give it an attitude adjustment and it left me along for the rest of the day.
