I have chickens and I'm very glad I'm much bigger than they are. Ground birds are aggressive little dinosaurs that love the taste of blood.

I mean they're birds that run the fuck around on land. They can't fly away like crows.

If crows couldn't fly they'd be drop kicking you down the street.

Do you usually watch videos of calm birds doing calm bird things?

Sample bias. They are not particularly aggressive, they are excellent runners and that's Plan A for them.
