I GOT ATTACKED BY BIRDS TODAY!!!!!!
I was riding my bike around the park near my house when a magpie which is squawking SO loudly came swooping down from behind me at a HIGH speed.
It zoomed past me,giving me a fierce peck on the side of my head.And it did that twice!
GOSH I WAS SO FREAKED OUT!!!
I swerved into another street to get away for a while before going back to the park to get back to my house.
Then halfway when I was riding back I saw and heard another magpie approaching from behind.
FAST.
I was so scared and pedalled as fast as I could,hopefully to outrun the bird!Didn't work though,the magpie aimed straight for my head but luckily I bent/ducked low enough.
UNfortunately,on the magpie's second go to snap my head off,I pedalled too fast and bent too low and lost control of the bike,causing the bike to crash to a side.
Blabla I got up with grazes and dirt everywhere and tried walking my bike slowly,all the while watching that bird.
I decided to walk a bit faster but at that moment,the bird suddenly took off towards me again(very fast)and I quickly ducked.
I was so freaked out that I just left my bike there and ran across the road to a lady with her 3 kids.
Ok too much details..
Basically,one of her sons helped get my bike and all of them walked with me out of the park to make sure the psycho birds don't come attacking me.
By the way, the lady told me that she saw this happen so many times.Magpies in that park always attack people on bikes.
I'M SO NOT GOING BACK TO THAT PARK EVER AGAIN!!NEVER!
I was seriously freaked out okay.
Birds don't normally attack in Singapore.
