He was just trying the crow equivalent of the primordial club-her-over-the-head-and-drag-her-back-to-the-cave thing.

I've never seen it, but I've been told that in true magpie country, people wear old ice-cream containers on the heads (the big square ones) and put glasses on the backs of their heads to confuse the birds (who won't divebomb if they think you can see them). Problem is, that confuses the locals out there too ...nominally challengedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11813003935126340214noreply@blogger.com
