Survival Instincts?

[AMF]

Was it a magpie? Aren't they known for that sort of behaviour?

I'm walking down the road, and whoosh, a bird takes off.
Alright, so I surprised it...

Then from behind, whoosh.
Ok, so now I know it has a nest nearby, and in a relatively stupid place. If I were a predator, this would be bad news.
I continue along, giving the vined fence some more room.

Whoosh.
Ok, now this is silly. Perhaps if I were sniffing around for the eggs, but I'm minding my own business and have got to be past the nest by now so give it a freaking rest!

Whoosh.
Now, I've had enough. I stop and give it the evil eye... one more pass at me and you're getting a smack upside whatever I can hit.

Stupid bird... nesting in a fence with multiple dogs on one side and a major road on the other, then pissing off innocent people with useless attacks.
