Hi David,

This bird also drew blood from the side of my head last year, around the end of July.

This is a very aggressive bird and is too close to a shared path. To help build the case to deal with it I reported it to ACT Parks and Conservation Service. They asked for photos of the injury as it will need to go to a judge. Please help build the case and report to ACT PCS.

This bird drew blood from me almost this early last year, around the end of July. I contacted the relivant Government team to report. Please get in contanct with them to report directly with them. We need to build a case to have this agressive bird moved from this location. You can email them here: EPSDD.PCSWildlife@act.gov.au
