Birds, No Big Deal...........ya right!

Today I was raking hay. No big deal, it's what I have been doing for the last 2 weeks.  The tractor that I drive when I rake hay is an open tractor, meaning it does not have a cab.  No big deal, at least it has power steering.  As I was raking along, there were a bunch of sea gulls flying around. No big deal, there are always birds flying around. (Are they still called sea gulls if they are not by the sea?) Anyways, I was watching one bird as it was flying over me and it seemed to be getting kind of close.  No big deal, as long as he didn't decide to poop as he was directly over me.  Then I turn and look behind me and there he was, flying right behind me, at eye level!  I could literally see his eyes moving as he was looking for lunch.  THIS became a BIG DEAL.  He just kept following me, right smack behind me, at eye level.  I was totally starting to freak out.  I was having flash backs to a scary movie I watched when I was little. Something about tons and tons of birds attacking people!  Does anyone remember this movie?  I'm sure it was sea gulls that were doing the attacking in the movie.  And I'm sure these gulls were going to attack me if they didn't see any mice soon.   Lucky for me, he found a mouse to attack instead of me.  No big deal, life is good now.  But it was Totally Freaky.  Hopefully tomorrow, they follow my Farmer and not me, otherwise, I'm going to have to request a tractor with a cab.

I think I would worry about what falls out of the air at you with that many seagulls flying around
