Thank Gaea they are protecting these shy harmless little fowl. When I was stationed at Ellington Field (Houston), we would go to the far end of the taxiway to practice side slope landings in the HH-52 helicopter. One of those little buggers would puff himself up and attack the helo tires. We would pull a little pitch and he would go tumbling away in the rotor wash. He would puff himself up and come right back at us.
