Angry crows atack Police

Crows have been attacking police in the parking lot of an Everett Police Department precinct station. They've been swooping down and dive-bombing the officers as they walk to and from their cars.

Lt. Bob Johns said he recently was flanked by the aggressive birds and "got zinged."

"They're like velociraptors," Johns said.

Spéculoos spread

Speculaas or spéculoos is a type of caramalised (caramelized) shortcrust biscuit. You have probably eaten them on a plane if unlike me you cannot fly.

Now super French company Lotus Bakeries has produced a spread made of spéculoos that you can put on your toast like peanut butter. I cannot wait to try this.

In Kagoshima, they are even trying to outsmart the Crow Patrol. The birds have begun building dummy nests as decoys to draw patrol members away from their real nests.

The birds seem to be winning.

Tsuruoka installed traps last year after about 7,000 crows took over a central park and the playground of a nearby high school
