How To Stop a Crow Attack?
Most people find it humorous whenever they see someone being attacked by crows.
Though it might seem hilarious at a first glance, a crow attack can be quite annoying and serious.
After all, crows attack silently and may cause a head wound.
They also start cawing very aggressively to call their members.
If you have found yourself being under attack, do not retaliate.
Fighting them back would signal them that you are indeed a threat, therefore attacking you more aggressively.
Remain calm and try to assess the situation as you might just be within their territory.
Flee and hurriedly leave the place by walking away.
This might stop the attack, especially if they are only jabbing you because you’re near their nest.
Try to also bring them snacks like peanuts to distract them.
It can buy you time or sometimes would permanently stop the attack, especially if they only want food.
However, do not violently throw the food since they might think that it’s a weapon.
Calmly throw the food away from you and continue to remain calm.
Leave the place immediately and remember the place, so you can avoid them next time.
