When birds attack...it's kind of funny.
A blackbird perched high atop an awning in the financial district of San Francisco suddenly began dive-bombing unsuspecting pedestrians, striking people on their heads and causing them to run for cover. Amused onlookers gathered at the corner of California and Front Streets, reports the San Francisco Business Journal, snickering or clapping high-fives each time the bird made contact.
Turns out, the bird wasn't trying to be malicious, but was merely protecting a nearby nest.
The bird has become such a big landmark that a website has been launched to follow the bird, referred to as Swoops by the site's creators.
