Aggressive ravens have forced a drone delivery service to pause flights altogether after bizarre footage emerged of the birds attacking them in the skies above Australia's capital.

The service Wing, run in collaboration with Google, offers Canberra residents the option to buy essential items like coffee, food, medicine and hardware supplies through a drone which drops off each package to their homes.

But lately in the northern suburb of Harrison those eagerly awaiting their morning lattes have instead been greeted by vicious ravens...

Drones that look like RBG would work too.

The Ravens either imagine humans are now trying to feed them on the fly OR they see the drones as invading their territories.

You'd think that someone who thought this was a good idea would have remembered seeing this sign once or twice when growing up.

I’m wondering what # shot for small-medium drones.

I’m thinking 6-8.

It absolutely looks like it, but I never recall seeing it, and I collect ALL those things.

I don't know exactly what firm did their commercials for a while, but there were some genius campaigns.

Even the ones I didn't like ended up having some unfortunate staying power. Like the stupid "Dilly Dilly" one.

I cannot watch network television or anything else which have advertisements. They nauseate me.

But these beer commercials had originality and humor.

THIS is my absolute favorite beer commercial:

u>"Not So Good."

Crows actually defend against predator birds like hawks. If you ever notice Hawks attacking a nest of the smaller birds.

Ravens are incredibly smart. They know there is food there, and they will do what they can to get it.

Crows attack the nests of songbirds, therefore, songbirds harass crows. Crows harass birds or prey because crows are assholes.
