I came home from the chiropractor and threw open the back door for the dogs so they could do their thing while I did some computer shit. I heard crows out there which is not unusual. I also heard Linda barking once or twice a minute. That's also a standard. It's how she gets Jade or Marco or me to play with her. But after a couple of minutes I realized it wasn't just crow sounds I was hearing it was the sounds of crows getting pissed off. So I went to look and Linda was transfixed by something at the bottom of the steps and was being divebombed by a pair of full size crows. First thing I did was get her in the house. Then I saw the baby through the window and went for my camera. I stepped out the door and the parents immediately went nuts. I got down on the ground to take the pic and they started divebombing me, coming as a close as about six inches. I ran back in and decided to let them try to sort it out before calling animal control.
That was an hour ago. I went back out once and they immediately started the aggro shit so I went back in. Now if I even open the door they start attacking it. They fly from the tree and literally crash the door and the gutter right above it. Just a couple minutes ago I figured it was obvious the little dude can't fly so maybe it'd help out if I open the side gate and then he can walk his ass outta here and take his cranky parents with him. So I went out the front and the second I came around the side of the house they saw me and took flight. AT MY FACE!!! They chased me as fast as I could run back in the front door.
I don't even like crows very much but I don't want animal control to just snuff out the little guy. It's getting scary over here. I think the parents mean business.

That's some crazy Hitchcock birds! Don't let them peck your eyes out.

I'd say badger Animal Control until they get off of their asses and do something.

I just got off the horn with my friend Melissa. She says that for whatever reason the parking lot at her bead shop is like crow toddler flight training HQ. I guess lots of times babies will crash and get a little hurt but then within a couple hours tops they're all better and can fly. I'll give him the opportunity to try and pull himself together before I get the animal cops over here to bust his infant ass.
Even if one of his parents totally just now bit Linda RIGHT ON THE ASS.

Apparently that crow is a racist.
Call the cops now.

Your dogs are going to kill those crows if they keep it up.
I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to handle the baby or the parents will neglect it.

So here's a video. That last dive is the one where Linda got bit on the ass. I wish it was in the frame but oh well...
