Crow repeatedly attacked me

[mps27191]

Guys Please no jokes but a crow repeatedly attacked me and followed me while I was doing 1 of my loops to the point where I had to stop and quickly return to the van, when I returned half hour later it knew who I was and attacked me again. so my question is what do I do? If I go back tomorrow will it attack me again seems like it’s going to remember who I am

What were you doing, robin it's food or summat?

Put a grievance in for bullying and harassment.

seen it happen at our place year after year .....the same birds came back to nest in the same place....a lad picked up a chick 1st year and put it up on a wall....ever since the birds swooped at them....this went on for 3-4 years....d.o.m suspended delivery each time there

Usually it's because there is a nest nearish and it is protecting it's young.

We have had news stories on here before of birds/gulls ect doing it.

Shall I ask to be taken off the walk? It’s my duty but I don’t want to be attacked everyday it’s embarrassing

If it happens everyday then something has to be done, it has been known for part of walks to be cancelled because of things like this.
See what happens on your next vist and go from there.
Obviously tell management what is going on.
These things are not as rare as you would of thought.

Postal deliveries under threat - aggressive seagulls
A TERRIFIED postie is being forced to flee her round after being attacked by crazy seagulls.

Well it’s nice to know it’s not not uncommon and not only happened to me. I feel embarrassed because I fell over while it was attacking me and I’m sure the neighbours would have been looking out there windows watching it and feel kind of anxious in case they saw it all unfold really don’t want to go back there

I work in a coastal town. This happens with gulls that nest on residential/ commercial properties every year. There are problems on numerous walks with parent birds seeing us as a threat to nests and aggressively attacking posties. We're told to bring back anything we can't deliver and take it out the next day......some streets get quite a build up of mail before it gets delivered.

I was shown round a rural years ago and at certain places the guy kept getting out of the van with a big stick. I assumed it was for the dogs and asked him. "No son" he said, "It's for the f***ing pheasants|

[zombiepostman]

I used to get a pheasant attack me on a rural round anyway to cut a long story short it tasted great (never tried crow though)

I've done worse dropped letters in the street, had kids throwing snowballs at me, fell over when talking to residents, tried to deliver to the wrong address, ripped my trouser so bad my underwear was showing. Its best to brush it off and ignore it, in fact they may respect you more if they don't think being embarrased bothers you.

If you want something to be ebarrased about try using open laterines with 20 other blokes, all the same time/

You need to take an umbrella with you.

Step 1 - invest in a decent air rifle/bb pistol

Step 2 - drive round there on day off

Step 3 - blow the f****r's head off
