11 Real Life ANGRY Birds HD

From WILD Turkeys making a stand for themselves, to the meanest magpies in Australia, these are 11 Seriously ANGRY Real Life Birds In September, we ran a story on Trending Tuesday about the aggressive magpies in Australia. During the spring, the birds get really angry as they swoop at people to protect their nests and offspring. And they seem to zero in on cyclists in particular. We found a story recently to prove that true … Footage of a magpie attacking a cyclist named Brendan Edwards near Melbourne (mel-burn) appeared online. Some amazing pictures of angry herons (hair-uns) in mid-flight aerial combat were captured by a photographer at a wildlife park in Spain.
