Today I was going to write a motivational post on obstacles. Oh, I had this
baby all planned out in my head and then I got into a head on collision with a
bird.
No joke, a bird swooped off my balcony as I was getting out of my car. I
didn't see the bird and the bird didn't see me. He flew low and then smashed
beak first into my back.
The bird recovered and flew off into the sunrise as if nothing happened.
Five minutes later, I am sitting here in my condo absolutely baffled. I don't
know if this bird was stoned or what? He must've had quite a shock barreling
into my back. And then it dawned on me, obstacles happen no matter what species
you are and the only way to get through them is too do what that lil bird
did- he flew again, no matter what.
No obstacle stood in his way-I vote we learn from that dear bird.
PS- I felt so horrible for the lil bird I went out and bought a huge bag of bird seed. The birds are eating good tonight!

A nature-mishap reality show for you perhaps?
I've had redwinged blackbirds swoop in and attack me this time of year. They're defending their nest, and if you happen to walk past, they'll fly really close. I've felt their claws at my head. That kind of behaviour lasts some weeks, and then the birds stop doing it.
The hummingbirds that hang around my front yard are territorial little buggers. I see them trying to dive-bomb each other all the time, but they haven't tried to dive-bomb me yet . . .
Hummingbirds are viciously territorial when it comes to each other... if they were the size of a blue jay, they'd be a menace to humanity.
i didnt know birds were so territorial.
There's a clip at this link, assuming it's viewable across borders...

They really are territorial!
Whoa, they really are territorial. I had no idea, thanks for teaching me, William.
