1. They can be (almost)
Curlews

Although generally coastal, nest in the grassland prairies of Central North America. When you approach within 100m of their nests, they'll take it upon themselves to divebomb you and your vehicle, often getting as close as 1m. I don't know if this is murderous or suicidal...

4. God, that movie scared the bejeebus out of me.

5. Swans are vicious bastards.
They can do a lot of damage when riled and are perfectly capable of breaking a child's arm with their beaks. Yes, I was that child.
