A pair of agitated crows camped in front of White Rock Coun. Helen Fathers香蕉视频直播 home swooped in Sunday morning, attacking the councillor, leaving her with blood gushing from her head.

That was one of multiple crow attacks in recent days, with 68 people reporting crow confrontations in the Lower Mainland between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

Fathers, who posted a photo to Twitter Wednesday of a blood-soaked towel she used to stop the bleeding, can now laugh at the incident, which 香蕉视频直播渟cared me to death.香蕉视频直播

She said there was a baby crow on her front lawn Sunday morning, located in the 1300-block of Lee Street, and she went outside at 6 a.m. to see if there was anything she could do.

Fathers said she was concerned that her cats would harm the animal, and she was unaware there were crows waiting to attack.

The protective crow gouged her with its beak, leaving an inch-long gash on the top of her head.

Fathers said she went inside her home to attend to her wound, and went outside again, en route to the White Rock Farmers Market, where she is manager, at approximately 7:40 a.m.

Fathers said a baby crow was found dead on the sidewalk. She assumes that a raccoon killed one bird, and the crows were protecting their surviving young.

The evening before, Fathers said she heard a commotion outside and saw a raccoon in a tree, where crows nested.

She said she香蕉视频直播檚 not really worried about being attacked a third time, but she香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播渄efinitely cautious香蕉视频直播 when she leaves the house.
