“During that time, the parents are very protective and will totally dive on people if they get too close,” Travis said.
Deb Campbell, a spokesperson for San Francisco Animal Care and Control, said it’s a tactic crows will exhibit to “encourage people to move along,” and that it usually resolves once the fledglings learn how to fly and can fend for themselves. During this time of year, the facility has been seeing “a lot of baby birds” come in, Campbell added, mostly from well-meaning people who find them on the ground and think they’re injured.
“[The] best thing to do is avoid the tree or area where it’s happening for now, and the situation will resolve once the babies take off. It doesn’t take long, maybe a few weeks,” Campbell said.Phillips noted the behavior isn’t limited to crows. Many songbird species have young that are not equipped to fly when they first leave the nest, and when they fledge, they’re “very awkward” at maneuvering themselves, he said.
