India, April 15 -- Residents of Bhavani Peth have been living in fear since the past few days. Reason: A wake of black kites, colloquially known as 'Ghar', have taken to nesting on the rooftops of several buildings in the area and notorious for their territorial behaviour during nesting season, the birds have reportedly attacked multiple individuals who ventured onto the terraces of their buildings.

So much so that some families have stopped accessing the rooftops of their buildings altogether, for fear of a sudden aerial onslaught. With the kites swooping down on anyone whom they perceive as a threat to their nests/eggs, the residents' daily chores such as drying clothes or maintaining water tanks have been severely disrupted.
