Crow attacks elderly passers-by in Crawford Lane after nest apparently falls from tree
They were presumably protecting their young.
Three elderly individuals were unexpectedly targeted by a group of crows on Crawford Lane after their nest reportedly fell from a tree. Neighbors observed the nest had crashed onto the ground in front of Block 462 Crawford Lane in Lavender on September 4, according to Shin Min Daily News. The resident shared that the crows had been residing there for an extended period and were frequently heard cawing in the mornings.
Following the incident, the crows became notably louder and more aggressive, likely attempting to safeguard their offspring that had fallen from the nest. One crow was even spotted pecking at the heads of three senior citizens who casually strolled by. An employee from a nearby eatery reported witnessing the crows rummaging through trash bins at night, although she did not witness any aggressive encounters.
Another restaurant employee also mentioned the crows' increased aggression, expressing concern for residents who dispose of their waste outside the back entrances. The Jalan Besar Town Council disclosed that they had aided NParks in relocating the crow's nest on September 9, and both organizations agreed to collaborate on future prevention and control measures as needed.
