    True-- and quite frankly if they did, I'd have to put them on the hate list as well. The theme here is that I hate things that fly above my head or in my face, especially if it is in a spastic motion (i.e. moths)

    Then I'd add owls, upon take-off from the ground anyways
    They really are spastic flyers when flapping/lifting-off
    I had one sitting in our alley one night nearly fly into our car as I came around the corner.

    hmm , and just now recall one a few years ago that came gliding across the road late one night & almost took me off my Harley!!

    Holy Cow! The same thing happened to my husband and I while we were driving through Arizona/Utah, we actually hit an owl! We were just barely moving though, so no harm done, but we were completely dumbstruck, it was such an odd experience! I guess I always assumed that they were more graceful fliers
