Bad Bad Robin

While I was leaving the nature trail recently I felt something splat onto my shoulder. I looked over to see a dark gloppy wet spot. Bird crap. Yuck! Of course I didn't stop walking, for fear of another attack. After walking for about ten feet I looked up and back to see a robin sitting there proudly in the tree above me.

That jerk did it on purpose! Yup, I said jerk. It's not only humans that can be jerks. What are the odds that he could hit me so skillfully and it be only an accident? I think none. He did it on purpose. I thought about getting his picture, but after glaring at him for a few seconds I decided not to do it. He had already given me a little present anyway.

So the innocent creature in the photo above is not the malevolent monster that took a dump on me. That evil one shortly leaped into the air and flew around me in a circle and then right back to his branch. That's the proof I needed. It was a last slap in the face from that flying creep.

He did it on purpose. That evil jerk. He did it on purpose.

  5. Hey...in England they say it is good luck to have a bird 'crap' on you....Maybe he was having a good day and wanted to share his luck with you too??

    I once had a birds mess on my head...I was jumping over a wall at the time!!

  6. Oh, Ratty, perhaps the poor bird just had a case of Montezuma's revenge and couldn't help himself. I remember once having some feathered creature splat on the bosom of a white shirt I was wearing...it came from high in the heavens
    ( I didn't see it ) - I swear it was an eagle or a vulture or something!
