Q3 Have you ever had any unexpected or bad experiences with a creature that flies and why?

@kate_frankie #pttravel A3: a ... goose, or turkey, or some big creature of that ilk once tried to attack me in the middle of Australia Zoo.
I avoid swans. Vicious bastards.

A3 #PTTravel Only with the seagull which tried to steal my chips at Eastbourne on Tuesday. But, an Australian friend blogged about someone having a bad experience with a cassowary.

A3 I don't recall bad experiences with flying creatures that couldn't be cured in a car wash. #PTTravel

A3 #pttravel I saw a nest in the shed & wondered who it belonged to. After a while, I crawled up there to see if I could see anything. I found one chick & still didn’t know what it was. I came back outside to find a mother robin in a tree letting me know who’s chick it was.

A3 This peacock stalked us in Cockermouth earlier this year…and had a fondness for walking back and forth over our pod roof at about 4.30am each morning. #pttravel

A3: Seagull + poop + ice cream in San Diego. I'm just glad I saw it happen, given how it looked similar #PTTravel

A3 this tree had about 20 hyacinth macaws in it which seemed a little unusual. Hadn't seen one for about 2 hours drive. Didn't see anymore for the next 2 hours. They were all in this one tree. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3. We stayed in quite a posh hotel in Roermond once. A pigeon got in during the night and gave it a fresh coat of paint. My parents trapped it in the bathroom and had to try to explain what had happened to the receptionist, but she didn’t speak English. #PTTravel

A3 I got chased as a child by a gaggle of geese. They are so hostile. I still steer clear now. I've also been pecked at by a bird at a picnic table.
Also, what are the real names of the birds in Australia that people call bin birds? They are always in trash & look like
