You get a bit of meat, preferably something that looks a bit like a worm. You let mama bird see it then you flick it as far away from the letterbox as you can while sprinting to the letterbox. Do not deviate. On the way back to the house flap your arms around like you're about to take flight until you are safely back inside. Next day repeat.

The other day when it was raining I was taking the rubbish and as I walked past the air conditioner some muddafucker decided now is the time to attack (it may have just been spooked but I personally felt attacked) which caused me to sprint to the bin and run back screaming and flapping.

@CEOofmyhouse56 @Seagoon_ I have also had to do this in the last couple of days. To go to the playground, which is right behind my house, I take a Big Stick and Wave It Threateningly.
