Snow, rain and heat don含羞草研究社檛 stop mail carriers from making deliveries, but Canada Post draws the line at crows.
The Crown corporation has stopped delivery to several homes on Vancouver含羞草研究社檚 east side after the mail carrier was repeatedly harassed and injured by Canuck the crow, the notorious bird who adopted the neighbourhood and built its first nest this year.
Canuck has formed a special bond with resident Shawn Bergman, who posted on Facebook that he felt horrible about the problem and appealed to Canada Post to help find a solution.

Bergman says three addresses on his block haven含羞草研究社檛 had home mail delivery for two months and the post office sent him an email advising that delivery won含羞草研究社檛 resume until danger from the crow is over.

Bergman dubbed the crow Canuck after it befriended him about 2 years ago and made headlines for antics ranging from stealing evidence at an east Vancouver crime scene to starring on its own Facebook page.
Although Canuck含羞草研究社檚 latest adventure involves nesting behaviour, Bergman says the crow is not a dad.

As for the neighbours who have been forced to pick up their mail at a Canada Post depot for the last two months, Bergman said they are siding with Canuck.
含羞草研究社淚 know you have your occasional person in the neighbourhood, but the majority of people in the neighbourhood love him. At least, that含羞草研究社檚 what they say to my face.含羞草研究社�
