Yesterday people also shared in the group that crows are attacking One woman wrote that her granddaughter was attacked right outside the stairwell and the crow even tried to sneak into the car I'm just scared to go outside to walk the dog right now where there are no trees and crows," said the woman Uršulė says that she understands that she will simply have to wait until the young crows grow up but she says that she has never encountered such aggressive birds before they just go and pass and get attacked." One woman even had to sew up a head wound when she was attacked near "Norfa" in Karoliniškės so no matter how funny the situation may sound from the side Ornithologist Gediminas Petkus says that gray crows have strong maternal instincts so what we sometimes call attack should be more accurately called defense - they simply protect the chicks from potential threats "The gray crow is a bit more aggressive than other crow birds She has a strong maternal instinct and when the chicks She protects her young because she thinks that humans or animals pose a threat to them," explains ornithologist Gediminas Petkus The crows will calm down after the chicks grow up and for now the only option is to try to take another route and avoid the crow chicks it can be difficult to do this - the environment of these birds the chicks fly out of the nest after about a month - if you see the chicks with feathers and flying a little it is likely that the crows will no longer need to protect the chicks after a few days Petkus says that although such crow attacks can scare the hell out of us these birds usually do not cause serious damage or injuries and in fact they do not seek out injured people but it can grab the hair." The more aggressive one can chirp while flying I myself have never seen them attack a person like that that while the crows are feeding the children of Vilnius they are sometimes eaten by the baby thrushes and sometimes they feed on the young of other birds there is a high probability that it is a horned thrush protecting the nest" Crows are extremely intelligent birds And although such attacks often make crows disliked the ornithologist reminds us that these birds can actually be fascinating - they are extremely intelligent "They say that crows can recognize a person even by their gait Scientists have conducted many experiments students walked with masks and a teacher who caught a crow they repeated the experiment and the crows remembered the teacher Petkus told the lrytas.lt portal a little earlier the nests of crow birds are also important Sometimes little egrets settle in the crow's nests on the outskirts of the city.​ where customers will be able to find their favorite products in bright It is expected that the refreshed store will make it easier for Vilnius residents to prepare for the most beautiful spring holiday -
