Story!
Yesterday, when we were getting back from church, I was walking up to my front door and all of a sudden this bird comes out of nowhere and flutters at the glass/screen bit of the door. Like a hummingbird, trufax. But it wasn't a hummingbird, it was some random perhaps robin type of bird. It was like it was trying to get in through the glass, it sort of smacked against it a bit. And then it looks at me, flies off to the tree maybe 10 feet from the door to a branch about 10 feet up, and immediately flies back and does it again, flutterpecksmacking at the window. Then it left, sadly, when it couldn't get in the second time. I mean, LOL! I wanted to catch it and cuddle it because it was a little one (I think one of the ones that just hatched this spring in our carport on the other side of the house) and cute and hummingbirdlike. Or just get a picture of it trying to get in, but it didn't return when I came back out with my camera and hung around for a while.
And that's my story. LOL.

Perhaps birds do do such things, if your seagull is any indication.

Perhaps I'm only seeing half the story, though... it's possible that the bird had some sort of tragic past, driven to his actions by relentless parental abuse and the cold, heartless world that had turned a blind eye to his woe. But he was still a bastard for traumatizing small children. DX
