Aggressive crows have reportedly been attacking parents and children at a kindergarten in central Tel Aviv, but the city says there is nothing it can do to stop the avian assaults.

Shelly Tapiero, a reporter for the Kan public broadcaster, posted on X on Monday that, a day earlier, she saw a crow attack a child as he was leaving the kindergarten, and that she herself was attacked on Monday.

“I witnessed a crow attack one of the children,” she wrote. “The terrified boy screamed, was overwhelmed, and ran away. This morning, I was attacked to the point of bleeding by a crow at the entrance to the kindergarten.”

She wrote that when she complained to the city, she was told that municipal officials attend only to wounded crows. The city appeared to confirm her account, writing that it is unable to stop the attacks.

“Hi Shelly, we’re sorry to hear about the attack,” Tel Aviv’s official X account responded. “As a municipality, there is nothing we can do about the phenomenon, and we are unable to get involved, and can only recommend that you keep your distance from the area until the chicks grow.”

Tapiero posted on Tuesday that a teacher at the kindergarten was attacked and, when she absented herself, her substitute was attacked.

One mother told Channel 12 that parents and staff have increasingly complained about crow attacks.
