I don’ think you have anything to worry about Chief, unless you are planning on wearing mirrored sunglasses. The male of many species of birds are very territorial, especially during mating season. They see their reflection in the shiny surface and think it is a competing male. The wild turkey that was attacking the mailman in Rockport several years ago was seeing his reflection in the chrome and windows of the truck. American Robins and Northern Cardinals are particularly noted for this behavior.

Well you have a cactus in your window – everyone knows crows love to eat cactus! No really, that was freaky and it could only happen to you, Joey.

I rust wildlife more than I trust Humans. Humans are wasteful scum. Just saying

I actually laughed out loud at the end, when I thought he was done and walked away, and came back stronger than ever. Than you running down the stairs… a Curly Howard moment for sure.

This was clearly an ancestral bird from Alfred Hitchcock’s very well known documentary called, “The Birds”. I think we have all seen that thriller, in a place I believe they called Buzzards Bay. An American Classic.

Too funny! You’re lucky Joey, that it didn’t smash your window open. Did you hear about the wild turkey that smashed through the windshield of a truck? Made a mess. According to Native American folklore, crows were a ‘positive omen.’ Hope it means good luck is coming your way.

That wasn’t your voice at the end? “go fuck of you little bastard” Now that’s funny. It sounds just like you with a little angry Italian mixed in.

Sorry but I hate crows. Ever notice every time they come around the other birds are quite or flew the coop? I wonder how much the ecological system would be upset if all the crows suddenly vanished?

Crows are awesome. They have very short lives but just like seagulls they clean up the place. Seagulls take care of the harbor while crows clean all the road kill off the roads. We would be knee deep in suicide squirrels without them.
They are also highly intelligent, use tools, and have many calls to communicate with other crows. Three caws repeated is a danger signal.
Like Kim said the one in the video is just seeing his reflection and attacking the other crow who is interloping in his territory. The dope who filmed it should have scared it off to begin with before he got a bird headache. a GMG sticker on the window and he would never come back.

But unlike dogs, do not try to french kiss a crow. Dog lips are great for your immune system but the jury is still out on crow breath.

Ok that was a bit freaky – I think the guy in the house is a wizard and he turned someone into a crow and they were trying to get in and get him to change them back. Just thank god it wasn’t a dog.
