Aggressive Birds

There are some damn aggressive birds in our parking lot here. Someone said they were mockingbirds. You can walk right up to them and they usually don't budge. One maintenance guy was divebombed and took a hit in the neck. These birds really protect their nests.

Anyone else observe this phenomenon?

Birds suck! My aunt had a parrot that would attack anyone that came near its cubby hole except her

I hated that thing so much me and my cousin taught it to say "put me in the microwave"

Are you serious? Mockingbirds are mean as [censored]. They attack our dog all the time. I've seen them chase squirrels & cats too.

Yeah I have two parakeets and I leave the cage open so that they can fly around if they want. If they are bored or want some fresh food or water or sometimes even if I am up late and they are tired they dive bomb me until I address the situation.

You should either shoot them or stick it in their pooper. Maybe both.

I used to stock shelves in a grocery store, and form time to time a mockingbird or 3 would get in through the back door. They'd hang out up in the rafters flitting around, eat produce and peck into meat packages at night. We could only get the BB gun out and try to shoot them before the store opened in the morning and they knew it. I swear they knew when you had the gun out and they layed low. Then right at 7 am they were all over the place.
