Our dog was attacked by not one but two yellow breast kingbirds protecting their nest. They "dive bombed" our dog anytime she went near the nest. The birds were very aggressive and they actually pecked at her face. We tried to protect the dog by waving off the "kamikazie like" birds with brooms and foam wackanoodles. Crazy birds need psychiatric help!

that was totally WICKED!!!!!!
Mockingbirds and Blue Jays are particularly noted for this behavior also, and I have witnessed many attacks on cats and dogs that strayed too close to their nest. The best thing is just to leave the birds alone until their fledglings leave the nest.
that video is so cool i thougt the dog would notice but she didnt, did she ever get hit by it?
I have been dived bombed by BACKBIRDS and we had a cat run back to our back pourch onetime by some STELLAR JAYS and i have watched a pair of WESTERN KINGBIRDS chase a red tail hawk I MEAN THESE BIRDS CAN BE ABSOLUTLY FEARLESS AT TIMES

We had birds like this at our house too. They wouldn't leave our cat alone. My husband went outside near the nest and one of the birds continued to swoop down almost hitting him. We just left the birds alone and eventually they flew away. Neat video.
