Pop quiz

What does the following look like to you?

a. A head of hair.
b. A bird's nest.
c. None of the above.



See, I would have said that it looks like my hair, but today, at approximately 1:15 pm, as I was walking to get a burrito at Roberto's, a bird mistook it for a nest and dove at me. I felt like a worm or a field mouse as it swooped down and tried to grab my hair.

Was he trying to land in it, or was he trying to use part of it for his nest? I am not entirely sure, to be honest, and I don't know that I'll ever have the full truth. What I do know is that it must have provided quite a sight for all the people sitting outside at Sam's Pizza and Roberto's. They got a free show with their lunch. Lucky them.

seeing as how i just rewatched "the birds" recently, and remembering that i used to own a homicidal cockatiel, i must pass on a word of birds are crazy, and you better watch the skies.
