烏鴉襲人

【明報記者馮新報道】溫哥華市西區近期發生罕見的烏鴉「霸佔」民居花園及襲擊居民事件。有華裔市民連續數日在住宅後院遭烏鴉襲擊,甚至遭烏鴉有戰術性地前後夾攻,事主形容「回家好像上戰場」。動物專家指烏鴉在春季繁殖期間,如果人類接近烏鴉巢,確實會集體發動攻擊。市民如果在住宅受到攻擊,可以適度地「自衛還擊」,但不應主動挑釁正在保護後代的烏鴉。
家住溫哥華西區的黃太,本月19日傍晚走出後院,準備前往車房開車外出時,突然遭到烏鴉襲擊。她透露,當時有多隻烏鴉在後院四周不斷叫囂,其中幾隻更高速俯衝而下,撞擊她的頭部。不僅黃太本人,她的丈夫與孩子,也都在接連數天內受到烏鴉的襲擊。
烏鴉踞「制空點」監視人類
黃太透露,近日只要有人進入後院,大約5隻烏鴉便會發出吵雜的叫聲,並以包圍的方式盤據後院各個角落「制高點」。其中3隻負責攻擊,當人看著其中一隻時,另外兩隻便會從人的後方偷襲,屬於有戰術性的「集體攻擊」,威力相當厲害。
黃太一家並未因為烏鴉攻擊而受傷,但卻因這種「騷擾」情況而苦不堪言,每次進入住宅後院,都像「上戰場」。
卑詩省環境廳野生動物管理部門一名動物專家表示,4月至7月為烏鴉的繁殖期,特別集中在5月及6月,如果烏鴉在樹上築巢孵蛋,便會對接近的人類具有攻擊性。市民如果不盯著烏鴉巢看,或盡量避免接近烏鴉巢,烏鴉其實不會主動攻擊。
她建議市民如果遇上類似情況,可以在走出後院時攜帶雨傘等物來「自衛」,或是沖水驅趕烏鴉。由於房屋是私人物業,烏鴉在後院「襲擊」屋主,屋主「為了自身安全而還擊」並不違法。不過她強調,烏鴉並不是能夠輕易打死的動物,而且非常聰明,會記住對方的長相並「班馬」(召集同伴)報復,因此呼籲市民不應主動挑釁烏鴉。
專家:別盯看烏鴉巢
卑詩環境廳發言人Suntann Dalal指出,省府保育部門並不負責處理烏鴉築巢的問題。如果市民難以忍受,可以付費委託私人公司將烏鴉巢移除。
事實上不僅是大溫地區,全球各地大城市也曾發生過類似事件。新加坡一個柏文社區,今年3月便發生多宗烏鴉襲擊社區居民的事件。2005年5月,英國倫敦一名44歲男子凱伊(Justin Keay),在慢跑時遭兩隻烏鴉以利爪襲擊頭部,頭破血流需要送院。
日本東京2001年4月至6月間,更發生超過2500宗烏鴉攻擊人類的事件。東京市政府被迫成立「東京都烏鴉對策工作組」,專門處理市內烏鴉快速繁殖的問題。
但溫哥華市議員周炯華認為,溫哥華市的烏鴉「相對溫和」,而且「聰明又有趣」,他覺得自己與烏鴉還能「和平共處」。 他建議黃太可以與他聯繫,他願意前往黃太的後院,看看是否真有烏鴉巢,並協助解決問題。

i dunno why the gov't can do nothing about the 烏鴉, there are soooo many of them now. those 烏鴉叫聲 are so annoying. once i saw a 烏鴉 attack a baby bird, wanting to eat the baby bird but i scared the 烏鴉 off. if they gov't don't do anything to control the number of 烏鴉, other birds will migrate to elsewhere.

just pepper spray the sht out of them
I miss you...

but do u know how many trees we've recently chopped down and thus leave them no where to stay but on our house/roof top? I saw the whole street transform in 2 years...
now the crows have no where to live. I think we should be fair to all birds unless they are declared as pest.

One time I was walking with my bf and I said "hello" to a crow at the sidewalk as we past it (pardon my mo liu-ness) then another one came to attack my bf's head. WTH?

People live in Canada in which is a wildlife friendly country, they should respect wildlife ga la. I see many people feed ducks whenever there is a pond or anything like that, which is not right (even there is a posted sign for restriction). They have no knowledge how their human act would affect the nature.
For the crow issue, there must be a solution to survive all parties.

why so scary?  why we have to think about kicking 烏鴉 away?
see another side, they are just protecting their young, what'z wrong?  They are also one of the species in our planet, they have no concept of building a net in a tree , a forest or $1Million house's backyard.  Think about that first.. harmony to the nature is what we should keep in mind.

Usually for this case, just be patient for few weeks until the little bird can fly, then problem is solved.
