In this case the "C" is for crows. Seattle crows to be exact. It appears that it is a well-known phenomenon here to be aggressively attacked by crows during the month of June. They are protecting their young,who will fall into the ground when they attempt to fly. However, looking for baby crows on the ground is no indicator of whether you're on the crows' hit list. Nope. Just make the mistake of walking by a bush with a baby crow in it and you are fucked!!! My brother in law did so and a crow took the baseball hat right off his head!!! (He was able to retrieve it when it was dropped!) My sister got it yesterday and now feels the need to carry cashews around for protection. Another woman I know carries a baggie full of dog kibble! It is purported that a crow can remember your face for an entire lifetime - so you can look forward to enjoying these attacks for years to come! The idea is that if you give them food they remember you as a food source, as opposed to a latter day Tippi Hedren!
All I can day about this is REALLY, Seattle???? I've lived around crows my whole life and have never had to endure CROW ATTACK SEASON before. WTF?
FUCK YOU SEATTLE AND YOUR UGLY CROWS TOO!
Oh yes. On my way to driver's ed. (via my trusty 10-speed bike) at age 15 in Michigan, I was attacked daily by those crows. We took to wearing ski caps and riding like hell. Every damn day. I love nature.
