This is true...while in Jr. High School, I was walking to school and came across some tiny birds that had fallen out of their nest and were pretty much dead.
I stopped to examine the scene and no sooner had I done so, than I found a crow cawing loudly and swooping for my head.
That damn crow chased me all the way down the block. I was so terrified that I hid under the front porch of a house. The crow persisted to get on the ground and wait there for about 30 minutes.
I ended up running back home with the crow chasing me the whole way.
My mother didn't believe me - but told me to walk another way.
That day, I remembered to walk home via the alternate route - and the crow saw me from the tops of the trees and chased me again. Again - terrified, I crouched under a low hanging tree.
This continued for two or three days - at one point I cried I was so frustrated.
To this day - when I tell the story - people mock me because they think I'm a wimp for being scared. But there is nothing like a bird swooping at your head over and over again.

It really is scary!
