As a result, bird attacks were forced to wear hats, hoods or to use umbrellas like a helmet. If they forgot about these funds, it happened that a friendly buzzard (Parabuteo Unicinctus) fell on a passerby, hit him with claws in the back of the head, then he missed him, leaving him, leaving the victim.
The British “Telegraph” describes that the postmen stopped delivering to the village, and workers abandoned work on the facade of one of the buildings. When the predator began to hunt not only on tall men, but also for women and children, he even deserted a local park with a playground. Over 20 falconers from all over the country tried to catch a buzzard – but until the last Wednesday their efforts did not bring results.
The buzzard was fed by residents. “He was fat like a beka”
The predator managed to lure and put in the garden of one of the residents who confessed that in the last weeks both for the last weeks, and his children were afraid to leave the house. The bird did not suffer with the whole action. According to Sokolnik, Alan Greenhalgh, the bird's behavior had to be caused by the lack of hormonal balance and rituals of the mating season.
– Because some of the inhabitants fed the buzzard, he was thick as a beka – said the specialist.
The bird for which the British Isles are not a natural environment (comes from South America), he has not had a permanent house at least from November. – In the wild, the buzzard apparently had a great time. After capturing, he behaved terribly, he did not allow himself to be touched, said Greenhalgh.
The predatory Myszłowiec will return to flying. “He won't sit in the aviary”
The bird will now be handed over to a specialist who will train him again so that he can fly, but no longer attacking random passers -by. “He will not sit in the aviary offended and sulky all the time,” said Greenhalgh.
The parish council of Flamstead Parish thanked the Sokolnik and the village resident, who managed to capture the predator. Victims are also grateful. 75-year-old Jim Hewitt, who was attacked and hurt when he went to the newspaper kiosk, said he was delighted that the invasion has already ended. – I had to act carefully and cautiously. It would be wise to drive to the store by car, but I did not want to give way to this damn bird – he described. The man assured that it was a great relief that the predator was caught, not shot.
A press spokesman for the Police of Hertfordshire said that although the police did not direct the hunt for the buzzard, she kept the “low intensity presence” in the area during the last weeks.
