Birds attacking people: Parental instinct

The nature’s parental instinct is a fascinating phenomenon. These birds have a nest in a busy Florida town and they’re attacking people to protect their off-springs. People can do nothing as these birds are a protected species.

There's a group of crows on Vancouver's busiest street (Robson) swooping down on peoples' heads. The first time it happened, I quickened my pace. I stopped and watched the 'attacks' for the next few minutes. Why would birds pick a well-trafficked area for their nest?

Jymn, I am not sure but we have done a good job of destroying forests and wilderness areas and maybe cities are the only place for these birds where they can get some food from the trash we put out.
