easy solution BOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY YOU CAME IN

Again, you understand falcons can, you know fly???? You are looking like a complete jackass trying to enforce your point. No one wants to risk their lives for something trying to kill them.

I certainly don't want a couple of these in the face, so when I'm in the hospital I can sound like a loving idiot "Well I'm going to need a new face, but at least I saved that bird :D"


easy solution BOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY YOU CAME IN

LOOK AT THIS MOTHERloving BIRD

ThAts like going to war and not shooting at the enemy, then saying "Well I got my legs and arms blown off and my face is now scar tissue but I saved a couple of terrorists from what they deserve"

Not to mention:

Either way, you can't blame him for not trying to catch it. Even if he could do that without getting seriously hurt, what would give him the wild idea to even try? He had less than a second to think about what to do and anyone's first instinct would be to move out of the way.

And you say "So you might get your hands scratched"
I got my hand scratched by a carary in an aviary, I would my hand loving mauled beyond repair by a falcon when I tried to catch it.

Can we move on to something un-falcon related?


A few months back, there was this misquito flying around me for like an hour
I swatted it with my hand a few times and I could feel it just crashing into my hand
But it just kept flying around me
I hit it with the flyswatter in the air multiple times (it would not land on any surface other than me) and it would just keep on going
It moved a bit slowly, but steadily, making it even more annoying

I once almost got killed by a Falcon(inb4falconpunch).

I'm just walking in the park minding my own business, and I hear CAAAAAWWWWWWW or something and some loving falcon NOSE DIVED AT ME(apparently i was in its territory).

Idk how, but I managed to get out of the way and luckily I was on a concrete path, so it loving faceplanted into the ground and died.

I kicked the dead body.

I'm just walking in the park minding my own business, and the last thing I hear is "CAAAAAWWWWWWW" or something and some loving falcon ripped through the spot where my heart was. (Apparently it thought that I was looking at him browsing Google for research)

I don't know how, but I managed to cheat death by pressing "Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right A B Start" while I was in the medium.

And I kicked my dead body.

i didn't even have time to change the difficulty to peaceful

Almost everything happens while playing minecraft.

THEM PRAYING MANTODAE

Just winging on your region, you were probably hit by the casual and common Mantis Religiosa, the European Mantid.



If it fell from above it was most likely a male. Females (above is a female) cannot fly because their body mass is too large due to their reproductive organs and systems that allow the creation of their egg sack. They do have wings, but use them only for defensive purposes. To appear larger, females bring their forearms up high and flair their wings whilst making an irritating hissing noise.

Now I'm going to take a guess you didn't piss him/her off, since they can give you a nasty pinch with their incredibly strong forearms.

Males, however, can fly, and use special flying tactics to avoid birds and bats. These little bugs are pretty damn awesome.

I hope you don't mind me explaining all this stuff, I used to breed mantises before I got my Gecko. I know Mantis Religiosa from head to toe. :)
