Mamma Dove + nest, right between my wipers...
Picture taken from 6 ft away.
Pappa Dove was somewhere on the car's roof....
I was attacked by a seagull as a young kid, it wouldn't let me cross a rugby field, which is a bit strange as I can't imagine one nesting there. We have the Australian Magpies here...eucalyptus across the road, and they make their noises there. Walking around the lake, they watch me, and come pretty close, but have never been attacked or even scolded by one. You see them often fighting with the Australian Harrier in the air, a couple of imports that don't like each other. The hawk was here first, self introduced before humans. I'll have to see if the swallows are making a nest over my front door this year - they make a mess. But no one uses that door except salesmen, I don't care if they get bombed.
The Magpies
- Denis Glover
When Tom and Elizabeth took the farm
The bracken made their bed,
And Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle
The magpies said.
Tom's hand was strong to the plough
Elizabeth's lips were red,
And Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle
The magpies said.
Year in year out they worked
While the pines grew overhead,
And Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle
The magpies said.
But all the beautiful crops soon went
To the mortgage-man instead,
And Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle
The magpies said.
Elizabeth is dead now (it's years ago)
Old Tom went light in the head;
And Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle
The magpies said.
The farm's still there. Mortgage corporations
Couldn't give it away.
And Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle
The magpies say.

Could be because in general humans are too "kind" to them.
