Hi Robert
I have been involved with a number of instances in
Brisbane where Torresian Crows have been attacking people, some of them causing
injuries. Some of them are definitely more aggressive during the breeding
season. One had caused a number of injuries to elderly people and had persisted
with its attacks over a period of time. I tried to catch it to relocate
it, but it was too smart.
We are not sure why crows attack people but it probably
for similar reasons that Australian Magpies, Pied and Grey Butcherbirds, Magpie
Larks and Noisy Miners also attack.
More study is needed.
