Hi tweeters,

Here's a message from someone who asked me why crows attacked her. I said
there was surely a nest and/or young nearby. Crows are serious defenders of
their offspring!

>Thank you for your response....I guess I thought crow's nests were up
>real high and these birds were in 5' high shrubs. They must have had a
>young bird around.
>I tell you, they are strong, fierce and real scary when they are in this
>situation since they chased me over two blocks and attacked my head
>several times. A sort of coordinated attack one from behind and one
>from the side. I will NEVER forget it and hope I have the guts to go
>out walking again. Thanks again.
