Angry birds dive-bomb police officers

[IScreamSundays]

EVERETT, Wash. — Officers at a Seattle-area police department have found themselves in a flap with some unusual suspects: an angry flock of birds.

Crows have been attacking police in the parking lot of an Everett Police Department precinct station. They've been swooping down and dive-bombing the officers as they walk to and from their cars.

Lt. Bob Johns said he recently was flanked by the aggressive birds and "got zinged."

"They're like velociraptors," Johns said.

And any neighboring communities with crows, they will learn too. Time to move out of state. LOL

10. We had that crow business in my backyard years ago...

I had to use a Wrist-rocket slingshot to disperse and 'neutralize' these dangerous birds...attacked kids and a warren of bunny rabbits which live to this day in the underbrush behind and alongside me. Intolerable...

11. All they need is a slingshot.

12. I shot this pic last week

Across the street from my job, the guy with the umbrella is trying to shield the guy pushing the mower from a pissed off mockingbird that has a nest on the utility pole. By the time I got the camera out most of the hilarity had already taken place. Every time the guy tried to mow that strip the mockingbird would dive bomb him... It crapped on him and pecked him on the head :spray: :rofl:
