A few weeks ago I was out on my daily walk when I noticed a fledgling crow on the shrubs by the sidewalk. It appeared to have it's flight feathers but for some reason was not able to fly after having left the nest. I watched it for a couple minutes when it's parents started screaming at me, so I left.

Unfortunately I think something may have gotten it, because I saw a similar looking body near the same spot when I went by a few days later. The problem is that since then the crow couple has decided I'm a threat and have started dive bombing me on my walks to scare me off, and even succeeded in clawing my head a couple times. I'll just be moseying down the road when I start to hear squawking and all of the sudden a shadow will flash by my head and then I'll be chased for half a mile or so.

They have claimed a fairly wide area near my house, and frankly I can never tell if the crows I'm seeing on my walk are the couple, or just other crows, so it's a crap shoot if my walk will be disturbed or not. I have tried carrying food and birdseed with me to toss out when I see the crows, but so far it has not dissuaded them.

Any advice on things I can do to absolve this issue would be appreciated. I am hoping that with summer coming, they may not recognize me without the hoodie I usually wear, but it's hard to say.
