Carry a tennis racket when you walk.

Forty years ago, an eastern kingbird used to dive at my head every morning as I walked under its nest and once tangled its claws in my hair.

Carry an old wooden tennis racket... or an 870

Don’t trespass in birds’ backyards.

"Bird-on-human attacks are growing more common as people encroach on their habitats, says Lori Naumann, information officer at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources."

So much baloney with no real hook, for the author to lead up to that? Creepy, animal worshiping weirdos.

In 1988 I was hauling to a road job in northern az
we were traveling on a rough desert trail for a short
to the job and traveling slow.

The driver about a half mile ahead of me called me on
the cb and said he had just been dive bombed by an eagle,
he said the eagle hit his windshield and then went to
the ground, thinking he had killed it he was going to
stop but then looking through his mirrow he saw that
the eagle had gotten up and was taking off again.

When I got there the eagle also dived for my windshield
but swerved just in time to miss me, guess he decided them
trucks were to tough.

After that he would just set and glare at us as we passed,
kind of a scary feeling.

Wonder where their nesting areas are...When i was stationed at Altus AFB, we had to be careful during certain seasons because a number of hawks had their nests in the trees ... once was lined up on the edge of a fairway, along a tree line, when I happened to look up and saw a set of eyes over a beak tucked in between some sturdy looking wings and being preceded by a set of talons extending my way...ducked just in time, did a “hop-set” and whacked the ball in the general direction and moved away from the trees...
If we didn’t get too close to the nesting areas, they left us alone.
