I don't really have any bird fears, but I don't like eating outside if there are seagulls because I've had them leave...deposits...in my food at least twice. Yuck!<br /><br />And I'm really looking forward to hearing more about Mr T, the gorilla suit, and the police! Hopefully with pictures!Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-13171491124740426182015-07-17T21:53:08.822+01:002015-07-17T21:53:08.822+01:00Good grief!

As a baby I was chased around by one that used to bite me on my nappy. Apparently. How embarrassing.

Thanks for the mention and for the link...Hi Tracy,<br /><br />Thanks for the mention and for the link back at Fiction Books site, both are much appreciated.<br /><br />I can't say that I am totally comfortable with birds flying around my head, however my parents always kept budgerigars when we were children, so we were quite used to having them flying around the lounge and handling them on a regular basis.<br /><br />Pigeons and seagulls are a different kettle of fish though and I have been well and truly spotted by both over the course of time. Unfortunately, once you have been zapped by a seagull, the stench is so all pervading and disgusting, especially if, like me, it was first thing in the morning and I was on my way to work!<br /><br />You have no idea how good it is to know that Mr.G and Mr.T sound as though they belong in the same class at school - that's the 'Peter Pan' school, for little boys who never want to grow up :) <br /><br />I have an entire catalogue of stories with a similar theme and I often wonder whether behaviour which always made him such a brilliant uncle, would have been quite as funny if he had been a father, or whether we would have had children who were mentally scarred for life!<br /><br />Great post and once again, thanks for all the nice things you say :)<br /><br />Yvonne<br /><br />Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-25450095936541465212015-07-16T19:44:58.256+01:002015-07-16T19:44:58.256+01:00That's funny about the face paint.

I can certainly understand your fear now knowing about the attack (and yes, I've heard numerous stories about birds defending their nests so I don't doubt it was premeditated) and imagine it was terrifying. Nothing bleeds like a head wound, so I'm sure it was quite a memorable experience. <br /><br />The rare times I've had a bird get in the house it's probably stressed me as much as the bird trying to "herd" it back out. <br /><br />Thanks for following up and sharing these stories.
