Looks like a mockingbird. (Definitely could be wrong though!) They are known to mob potential threats to get them away from their babies. Unfortunately, looks like mommy and daddy mocking bird view you and your dogs as predators. The good news is that the babies should fledge with a few weeks and you will be free of their wrath.
Thank you. Coming up on about a month now. They will actually dive bomb me, slamming into my back repeatedly. I have two pitties and they’re terrified.
I’ve never seen such aggressive birds before and look like a mad man maneuvering through my neighborhood lately
If it feels any better, it’s because they’re scared to death you and your sweet pitties will eat their babies. After all, a high percentage of fledglings die in the wild every year, and they’ve invested a lot of energy into getting their babies this far. Yes they’re stupid, but think what you’d do if a bear attacked your dogs.
