Residents of the American city of New Gloster (Maine) received a warning about the danger threatening them from the air. Eyewitnesses reported the appearance in the area of an aggressive "diving" owl.
The owl "bomber" lives in the forest in the area of ski tracks, AP reports with reference to the leadership of the local park. According to its employees, it is already known at least one victim. The victim of the attack of the “terrorist” was the man to whom she injured her head.
Park employees reported on the incident on the social network Facebook . They warned that after a perfect attack the bird disappeared. Nobody saw her again.
Nevertheless, it is believed that an owl may attack again. Experts do not exclude that bird aggression is caused by the fact that she has a nest nearby. It is quite typical for the Council to protect their territory and chicks.
Park employees advise residents to refrain from walking in this area for some time. At least until the chicks grow up.
Those who still decide to experience fate are urge to be vigilant and take precautions. The fact is that the owls attack silently, so the potential victim will not hear anything until it is too late.
To protect themselves from owls, residents are recommended to wear hats and take an umbrella with them to fight back in case of attack. In extreme cases, the victim of the attack is advised to wave their hands more actively overhead.
