Kept them off the owl itself but looks like it’s presence actually attracted the birds 🦅 !!!

Funny it’s as if one was being * egged on by the others to go test it !!…* no pun intended !

There are swallows here as well which are f'n crazy . They fly in groups of about 10 going round in circles and literally fly right past your nose screeching as they do . Hitchcock could have made a movie about them :)
