Violent Owl Repeatedly Attacks Old Man.

An old man in Hunan Province said an owl has taken a special liking to attacking his head.

When he leaves home, the owl often starts pecking his head, forcing the man to wear a special hat, Changsha Evening News reported today.

“The owl began attacking me in March, when I was working in an orange grove,” the 79-year-old Yang Decai said.

“I don’t remember how many times it has attacked me, but the day before yesterday, it pecked me 20 times,” Yang said. “It doesn’t hurt but it is really annoying.”

Yang wears a hat with nails sticking out of a piece of wood to protect himself from the owl.

The owl sometimes cooperates with another owl – one hooting in a tree and the other swooping in to attack, the report said.

Yang’s wife has also been attacked several times. Other family members have been left alone, the report said.

Yang said the owl may be seeking revenge because he removed a nest with two baby owls from his roof.

“They must be the baby owls’ parents and want revenge,” Yang said.

However, an expert from the forestry bureau in Huaihua City, Hunan, said the owl’s strange behavior may be because it feels threatened or that Yang carries a special scent.

The expert suggested Yang ask local forestry officials to catch the owl or scare it away.



Not spooky, just hilarious.
So sue me.

"The owls are not what they seem."

Maybe he should stop rubbing dead mice all over himself before he leaves to pick oranges.

cry fowl! :D

maybe it's a sacred owl named Shambowl?

That's funny.

That's....odd.

(The mental image has me crying with laughter)

This reminds me of the squirrels that throw nuts at my grandpa's head when he's outside working.

*Laughs*

that hat he wears must look...um.....unusual. He should put a sign "I am wearing this shit becuase an owl attacks my head" on it so when he is in public places people don't stare.

I'm wondering why the guy didn't do this already.

I think I might be tempted to wear something like that just for fun.

lmao Poor man

Screw the silly hat, he should carry a gun and put an end to it.

This reminds me of another case, where a seagull would always target the same man as he went to work, and, from the air, try to... defecate on him.

lol...that's just way too funny!
