Today I witnessed the sport of pigeon kicking.
Technique:

1. Place foot under those plump flight muscles

2. Grin maliciously in anticipation

3. Briskly lift foot skyward, similar to a drunken rendition of a Chorus Line

The pigeon experiences spontaneous levitation; the human experiences demented joy.
There is also the sport of in flight bird whacking (doesn't matter which kind). The method is to take any object you have in your hand (newspaper, purse, lunch, etc.), wave vigorously above your head and refuse to look up to see what (or who) you're whacking.
