Attack!

OK, there is this momma and dadda bird who has made a nest in the grape vined gazebo where I live.  I see the momma bird with food in her beek constantly.  A very sharp looking beek I might add.  For almost a month now I have been getting attacked by the momma bird every single time I walk in and out of my home.  It looks something like this...

She gets so close I can feel the wind from her wings.  It's a scream, duck and cover and then RUN situation!  I literally scream because I don't know where she's coming from at times and it startles me.  (My neighbors already think I'm nuts anyways so nothing I do should shock them.) The only time I can avoid the whole situation is at night because I think they sleep. Sheesh!
