It's a bad day to be a cop in Seattle...

...because you could be attacked by a murder of crows!! No joke, just saw this article on my homepage a few minutes ago: Angry birds dive-bomb police officers

Now crows are a very interesting species of birds given their high levels of intelligence. Some make tools to use in their daily hunt for food. And recently research suggests and observed in the article, these birds have the ability to recognize humans as individuals from their facial features.
State Fish and Wildlife Department biologist Ruth Milner ...noted crows also can recognize people's individual features. And they hold grudges.
That's just amazing! Not too good though if you happen to be one of these officers. I would hate to be attacked by a mob of birds coming in and out of work. I hope they'll be able to hold them off.
