Every morning I'm woken up by crows crowing and some other birds. The strangest thing though was when I was hanging out with a friend and this crow was sitting on a tree, looked like it was staring at me. It was constantly crowing and swooping down so close to my head I had to duck or it would get in my hair. It did this until I went inside and it went back to the tree watching me. I learned a bit about crows and apparently they are extremely intelligent and can remember faces for 2 years. So can anyone make sense of this?

They are over protective of their own who are in a vulnerable state, such as a baby crow who can't fly and is out of nest on the ground somewhere and also their elderly who can't fly and are in the processing of dying.
My daughter had a crow swoop right at her head as she walked to school every day for a week. She asked a teacher who told her that likely there was a baby bird on the ground and if you are passing by anywhere remotely in the area of that tree, they won't want for you to get close enough to discover there is a fallen bird, and thats' why often we have no idea why they seem to be attacking. She was just walking on the side walk.
Once at a friends house, I asked if we could go visit out on her back patio instead of inside and she said I'm welcome to try but there are crows out there that won't allow anyone in step outside the house and she pointed to a corner of her lot. So I went out and immediately got the cawing, tried to see if there was a downed bird. Couldnt see from the distance, so walked closer to get a peek, just a few seconds, enough to see an adult bird on the ground alive and barely moving, unable to fly and had to duck the attacks of several crows as I was dangerously close in their minds as I was within visual distance for myself.
Don't worry, it wasn't that they don't like you. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
