Notorious crow single-handedly shuts down mail delivery in neighbourhood

And now for some very Canadian news: Mail delivery has been halted in certain areas of Vancouver because a "well-known crow" attacked a mailman.

Canuck the crow, who is identifiable to locals because of a red tag on its ankle, has been causing trouble in the area for a long time apparently. His long list of troublesome behaviour includes everything from riding the SkyTrain to evidence tampering.

Canada Post spokeswoman Darcia Kmet told the BBC: "Regular mail delivery was suspended to three homes due to it being unsafe for our employees.

We are monitoring the situation when delivering the mail to other residents on the street. If our employees believe it is safe to deliver to those three addresses, they do so."

If this is your first time learning about this badass John McClane-esque crow, please let me direct your attention to its Facebook page (yes it has its own Facebook page) where the crow's exploits are recorded relentlessly with nearly 2,000 different photos of the famous bird.

This most recent post is about the mail incident.

Canuck the badass crow has two times more Facebook fans than the state of Arkansas, and his fanbase seems to absolutely love him.

And if you're wondering, they are definitely on his side in the whole mail debacle.

This is definitely not the last time Canuck is going to cause trouble, and I for one can't wait to see him in the news again.
