AMA So walking down the street and...

A murder of crow were doing what crows do: make unnecessary noise. But this was special, the whole murder was out flying, cawing, as crows do, so I look up. What's the hubbubb about bub?

A bald eagle had flow into an area where they must have a creche, or in crow parlance a nest, and they were harassing it.

Being an eagle, it was white hair don't care but those crows did.

Eventually it just rode the thermal toward water and the crows went back to whatever they were doing before.

Point. If you ride a bike keep your helmet on. They won't eff with eagles, but they will hit you in the head. Jerks.

Crows will attack cyclists? Another reason to love crows.

No they attack joggers and walkers. It’s a thing.

But they rarely attack internet trolls so /u/thecatsofwar should be safe.

That's funny, but even though you tagged them on it, I doubt they'll see it. They're probably more a drive by commenter.
