weyes Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 it was january of last year, but it still haunts me whenever i see a seagull. maybe it's why i suddenly developed such a love for birds, now that i think of it; somewhere in 2002 birds began to stop me in my tracks - i'd stare at them and marvel at how gracefully yet cavalierly they handle their ability to fly. i wonder if they'd trade it with us for our ability to run - those that can't, anyway. so many different birds, and i'm fascinated by them all. don't call pigeons "rats with wings," please; they're actually doves, and the only reason why they're dirty is 'cause they live in dirty cities. of them all, though, owls, are my favorites (of course ) .but back to the seagull. i killed a seagull last year in a sav-on parking lot . i was backing out of my parking space when i heard the most horrible squeak/cry. i looked in my rearview mirror, and there was a bent gull, with his gull friend - the friend gently pushing him with his beak to see if he was ok and finding him lifeless.i cried, i really did. but what could i have done? i didn't see the birds in my rearview mirror, and what were they doing at a mid-city sav-on in the first place?i had horrible luck all last year, and i wondered if it was payback for that.when prince first changed his name to that weird symbol, he said it should be pronounced as "the sound of a dying seagull." it's good that prince changed his name back, 'cause no one should have to hear that.has anyone else here ever run over anything?

bobadrinker Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I think I ran over a bunny once...The city where I hang around after still has some undeveloped parts. As such wild animals like squirrels and rabbits habitate those areas, and sometimes cross over to the developed areas. I swear the bunny jus jumped into traffic from out of nowhere. I tried to brake and swirve around it. By the time I stoped a few hundred feet away, all I saw was white fluff on the ground. My heart pounded, and sank to my stomach with guilt. Not knowing what had happened to it, I assumed the worst. I prayed and chanted for the rabbit's life before I moved on whats wrong with those wascally wabbits???
