- On ostrich, scared, can run fast enough to make you THINK it's flying,
- but many other birds will sit there and let themselves be picked off one
- at a time if the weapon being used isn't terribly loud. This is a fact
- known to many a juvenile delinquent with an air rifle, to the detriment
- of a number of species of (rather stupid) North American birds. The
- redwing blackbird comes to mind as an example. I've been told that there
- are others, but that's what the little miscreant that we caught was
- plugging.
