Hello,
There is a population of crows that frequent my street in Pacific Beach (San Diego). Neighbors believe they nest in a couple of the palm trees along the street. I recently started taking my cat out in the yard with a harness. Crows started swooping dangerously close to her and loudly cawing at each other. A neighbor suggested I play crow sounds at them on my iPhone to keep them away. When doing so, they returned to their trees and stopped the aggressive behavior. Here comes the issue:
Today, the crows have started displaying aggressive behavior towards me, even when I'm not with the cat. When I leave my house, they immediately start to swarm and "dive bomb" very close to my head. They caw incessantly and follow me up all along my street. It is extremely distressing to me and my neighbors. It appears they are only doing this towards me. They aren't doing this to my other neighbors.
What is the best way to address this? How long will this last? Is there a way to correct it?
Nick
