In
1963 Melanie Daniels suffered a attack by tons of gulls. Fortunately the attack
wasn’t real and her name was fictitious. Tippi Hedren was the american actress
who performed the role of a millionaire magnate´s daugther. ‘Birds’ is one of
the most famous movies by Alfred Hitchok and a classic film. Sorry for disappointing
you. Honestly this is not a review article, but an excuse to let you know an
embarrasing experience.
I
remembered the scene where Melanie is being attacked by the gulls as a result
of a hazardous episode which happened in my life. I have been a victim of a
crow attack. It ocurred this afternoon while I was ambling on my way home. I
heard a bird flying near to me and when I looked up at the sky I realized it
had tried to attack me.
At
first I thought I had got rid of the crow but when I saw it was attacking me
again and again I started getting nervous. It didn’t help me when I shook my
bag to scare the brave black bird. It was more agressive and persistent. You
can’t imagine how frightened I was. I am a hunter and I have never wanted to
kill other bird much more than it. But without a shotgun in my hands I ran into
my house to avoid the pecks of the crow. It followed me for an endless couple
of minutes until I turned the corner. The scene was quite ridiculous. A man
escaping from the claws of a bird. The next 200 hundred metres until reaching
my room weren’t easy because I constanstly span my head to check the animal
wasn’t behind of me.
A
note:
Australian
bicycle riders are used to protect into their heads with helmets, which are
covered by plastic bridles. It’s the way to keep magpies far away because the
brightness of the helmets pay its attention but I didn´t know crows could be
attracted for the same reasons. The picture I upload doesn’t correspond with
the same crow which attacked me today. I deserve to live in peace.
