So it's bird-nesting season here in the mid-Atlantic region, and apparently nesting birds really hate my dog. Last weekend we were innocently walking on an urban residential block when all of a sudden a bluejay-sized bird started divebombing at Biscuit! Mama bird (I'm assuming it was a mama) kept divebombing angrily for the entire block. She was definitely going for Biscuit, not for me.
And then, it happened again this morning! Different bird, different location, same thing! This time the bird swooped down and actually hit Biscuit's tail as she was sniffing around the base of a tree. We took that as our cue to depart!
I assume these are nesting birds protecting their nests, but this is so weird. I've never had this happen with other dogs! Maybe the birds are thinking Biscuit looks like a marauding fox? I think the only thing to do is wait it out, but in the meantime I thought I would complain about it on Dogforums. Has anyone's dog been getting divebombed by angry birds lately?
