English term or phrase: chowek nie golub
Could anyone translate that small sentence into Croatian, please?

"If you start that old story with calling me horse (stallion) again, I will
get really angry and the whole of Varazhdyn will suffer the
"friendly fire" of the dove!"

(it should play with the Croatian saying "
"cjowek nie golub, on nie mozha lieti mozha samo..."
friendly fire is the Vietnam War term...hence )))))))))

Please, do that is for my best friend from Croatia he will not be offended! I want to give him a bit of linguistic surprise!

Čovjek nije ptica da odleti!


Explanation:
...in Croatian it is rather "bird" than "dove".

(To see it written in all its glory, choose Central European encoding!)
