My first Animal attack

I have become victimized by my first animal attack, to a species I never would have guessed...

I was walking down the road, minding my own business, heading towards the supermarket Coles to buy some groceries. I passed some beautiful trees while humming to my favourite songs from my MP3 player. When suddenly, out of nowhere, a bird descended vertically and bashed right onto my head while whistling particular aggressively. At first I thought the bird accidentally flew against me, by making a judgemental error on the angle it was trying make or something like that. I mean, I wouldn’t know, but to me flying seems like a hard thing to do. Birds make mistakes; they fly against windows all the time. So I continued my journey and tried to make a comeback with my singing, as I missed the second verse of the song I was listening to. A few meters ahead from the incident my ad lip I was just about to burst changed into a scream for help as a second attack was provoked by the killer bird. Two attacks in such a short period of time could not be a coincidence. This bird did not fall accidentally on my head twice. It was after me! I increased my pace as I was feeling haunted by the bird. I looked helplessly around, scanning the trees, hoping that I could see a possible third clash coming. Unfortunately, this bird on a mission completed the attacking spree by a third assault. This is not normal! Birds don’t attack people in Europe! I tried to seize my panic and I did not wanted to walk around passively waiting for this sadistic bird to strike again. I choose to take control, bearing in mind what birds could be capable of after seeing the horror movie called Birds (1963). I grabbed one arm of my backpack with both of my hands willing to use it as a weapon. We will see who has the last whistle. The bird probably, and wisely, noticed my dedication and fled. Nevertheless, I must add that I deliberately took a different route back home in order to avoid a potential second rendez vous, which could have ended much uglier. Hysterically, but also heroically, I told my housemates about this strange experience I just encountered. They unexpectedly cried out laughing upon hearing this epic story. So it seems that this particular bird belongs to the species Magpies. They have the reputation of being extremely territorial and spring in Australia is magpie breeding season. They then can become aggressive and swoop and attack those who approach their nests. They now also have been spotted in Europe. Think about that when you’re walking in a park and unexpectedly hear a strange whistle of their complex vocalization….
