Attack On The Crows

[User#8628]

I'm scared of them! And i heard they can be aggresive so i always sideeye them when i see them.
But never got attacked so far thankfully!

A couple of filmmakers, Kristine Samuelson and John Haptas, examined the crow "problem" a couple years ago and produced a fine documentary with a another, more Shinto response to the lives of crows in Tokyo.

It's called Tokyo Waka.

I own the film. It changed my mind about those persistent winged pests.

Here's the official trailer:

@TheWhiteBear - If the crows bother you, kill and eat them (not necessarily in that order). You are a bear. Try to stay in character!

Bears eat what they please, including the French.

Chew thoroughly before swallowing as needed.

I like crows in Japan. They are generally smarter and mor efficient than most of my coworkers.

Update: i just saw a big crow in front of my appartment door, and it looked at me aggressively. Fortunately i could get inside before it came up to me.
I'm convinced they smell fear.

When out walking, I attach a balloon to my head, with a face drawn on it. When a heinous bird attacks, the balloon bursts and the crow gets a terrible shock which dissuades it from repeating.

I, of course, get a face full of colourful rubber, but that's a small price to pay.

it looked at me aggressively.

As long as it wasn't a microagression

Earlier today outside of my room I could hear a cat and a crow fighting o_o
My room is right next to the woods

Actually I should mention that crows actually like me. If I'm sitting in a park or just about anywhere outside, its inevitable that one or more will come up to me and start a conversation. Again, far more interesting to talk to them than my coworkers. Crows have much more to say about more topics.

The crow won I think, the cat was crying pretty loud.
Crows are savage as fuck, thug among thugs.

I heard crows can remember faces of people they have grudges against and even pass that knowledge on to friends and family. Ah.. found it!

Very minor detail, but shouldn't this post should be named "attack by the crows" instead of "on"...... ??

Most would say "of" is more correct than "by" or "on". But since this is a title, his meaning is understood anyway.

Guess they also remember who is friendly to them and pass that on as well.

I've seen that before and I loved it. I'm also a big fan of Tokyo's crows, but I am an amateur wildlife photographer.

There is a little island in Tokyo Bay where thousands of crows roost on each night in the winter, it is visible from that Statute of Liberty replica (Odaiba).

If you are there about an hour before sunset in the winter, you can watch them coming home to roost in a big long lines.

If your mind is in the right place, they cease to be loathsome creatures and become interesting, clever and even beautiful.

I think OP's title is a reference.
And however, he did mention punching one of the crows, right ?

The crows in Shonan....meaning Zushi, Kamakura etc..... only prey on food on the beach...Never heard of any direct contacts with people.....
When people are in the water, the crows check out what is in their bags on the beach..... It's the "tombi" birds (forgot the name in English-maybe "sea hawk") that are more active, and actually sneak in and take food out of peoples hands...... A fast food place near Enoshima, First Kitchen, eventually closed because of the problems with those birds......

 

[TheWhiteBear]

The title "Attack on the Crows" is referring to "Attack on the Titans" and also it is me trying to raise an army to fight their evil ways!
