Scary birds

I've been a little afraid of birds ever since I got attacked by some of them walking to my car in the driveway of my parents house. I felt like a character from Alfred Hitchcock's movie The Birds. Well today I became even more scared. I was eating my breakfast at Darling Harbor this morning and I knew I shouldn't have thrown anything at the sea gulls because they are savage birds come feeding time. I experienced this during one of my breaks on the docks of the Blackbird Cafe while a child was feeding them chips. But I thought why not, it's not like I wanted the extra crust of my bacon and egg roll. I threw a small piece and before it even hit the ground it was gobbled whole by one of the birds. They all began to flock my way. Then I threw another small piece. They all fought for that one. I began to walk away as I felt like this situation was about to get real ugly. Then as I was walking away about to take another bite of my brekky, one bold sea gull beat me to it and tried to snatched a piece of my roll. I'm screaming as you can imagine. Bloody thing took a whole egg with him. I covered my roll and tried to run but a witness told me I dropped my wallet. Gah!! I did not want to walk back to the swarming scavenger sea gulls. Thankfully another witness saw my freighted and hesitant expression on my face and shooed the birds away grabbing my wallet for me. Relieved to walk away in one piece...I thought NEVER again! In conclusion...I'm officially scared of all birds that fly and swoop down for food.
