“It is expected that the birds will remain aggressive for approximately the next month,” explains Queen’s University to its students – so look out. They’re going after pedestrians.
When I read this, in a newspaper article about the Queen’s University crows, who’ve already pecked three passersby —
Queen’s faculty and staff in the three buildings backing onto the walkway have a clear view of crows swooping at their colleagues.
— I instantly pictured a (Charles Addams?) New Yorker cartoon in which faculty and staff gather in the room with the best view to watch and laugh.
At the University of Miami, they’ve long had an aggressive hawk problem, which they’ve tried to make cute by naming the area of campus where they peck you Hawk Walk. (They also issue umbrellas to walkers, because hawks – go figure – don’t get aggressive if you’re carrying an umbrella.) UD proposes CROW GO as Queen’s cute name for going the Suzanne Pleshette route.
