Aggressive Crow Targets Reflection in Cars
WESTON-SUPER-MARE, England (UPI) -- People in Weston-super-Mare, England, say a crow has been attacking cars in the town after mistaking its own reflection in windshields for other male crows. The Rev. Geoff Eales of St Peter's Church -- whose car has been targeted by the crow three times during the past week -- said motorists in the town have spent an estimated $140 replacing windshield wipers torn off during the bird's attacks, The Daily Mail reported. Locals said the crow has lived in the same oak tree for the past four years, but only began attacking cars about two weeks ago. "Residents are at a loss to know what to do about the bird, with various ideas from building a scarecrow to hiring a hawk to scare him off," said former town crier Pluto Denn, 76.
