Would it be unreasonable to go at them with a cricket bat if they dive bomb you? Not out of aggression, but self defense.

- Gracana 10y agoThat doesn't sound anything like self defense.
- SEJeff 10y agoIf they are trying to peck you, how is it not self defense?!
- Gracana 10y agoIt's entirely unnecessary cruelty. Taking a weapon with you so you can retaliate after you provoke an attack isn't a defensive strategy.
- andrewflnr 10y agoCleaning up bird corpses near human habitation habitat isn't necessary? You have curious ideas of what's necessary.
- Gracana 10y agoThat's a ridiculous interpretation of what I said. Nobody I know has ever had to bludgeon an animal to clean their yard, not even the person whose story spawned this whole thread.
- yaowenjiaozi 10y agoOnce I was picked on by crows in my neighborhood. A few birds would swoop down and tried to / made a show of pecking me on the head. I picked up fallen twigs about the size of walking sticks which I swung above my head like a helicopter's rotors. Did that a few times and the birds stopped bothering me. The attacks started after I walked past a crow on the ground that was apparently injured or something. Once I _made eye contact_ (!) with that crow, the others up in the tree went beserk and started the attacks.
