-> Throw a rock at that pesky bird.

You're not sure why you'd consider pelting the poor bird, but the concept of rapidly becoming desensitised to your own death is as good an incentive as any. You pull a ROCK from your COLLECTION OF STONES AND PEBBLES out of your TRUSTY SACKTCHEL and decide to throw it. Clearly this is a collection only fit for stones and pebbles, no ordinary ROCK should be amongst this artisan COLLECTION OF STONES AND PEBBLES so you're pleased to be rid of it.
It appears as though you're killing two birds with one ROCK.
