Crows attack conservative talk show host

Like a bad movie sequel, the dive-bombing crows are back and launching their annual attacks on unsuspecting people across the Puget Sound area.
It happens at this time every year as young crows begin leaving their nests for the first time. The fledglings don't fly well and often end up on the ground, and crow parents are extremely protective, says University of Washington professor and crow expert Dr. John Marzloff.

"The parents are being defensive and trying to protect their young from what they see as potential danger," he says. "They'll give you a good wallop on the head if you even look up at them or make any movement towards the young bird."

Stories abound of people getting attacked around here by the original angry birds. A menacing crow hit KTTH host David Boze in the head several times over a couple of days until he fought back in a semi-futile effort to exact revenge with a tennis racket (he swung and missed, but it seemed to scare the bird away and prevent any further dive-bombings.)

he just needs to walk somewhere else.
When the kids are grown there will be plenty of time for them to exact their revenge if he keeps smashing them with a racket. They enjoy it as a group activity - they know people are stupid.
