Re: Aggressive bird?



Crows are very aggressive, they dive bomb foreheads regularly, but then the whole Lower Mainland should be covered with such signs, and they're not crows I guess but corvids (or corvidae?), and while seeming to attack, they are actually defending:

And there's a live interactive website where you can track and report defensive aggressive corvids in real-time in the Vancouver area:

Subject: Aggressive bird?
 
On the path from Horizons Restaurant in Burnaby Mt. Park to SFU there's a sign warning of bears in the area and a sign warning of an "Aggressive Bird".

Anyone know what kind of bird that would be?

I'm curious!

There must be someone here who knows their aggressive birds.
