Tokyo DisneySea’s murder of crows has returned and has resorted to attacking the Maximus animatronic on Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival in Fantasy Springs.

Crows Now Attacking Maximus Animatronic After Bird Deterrent is Added to Rapunzel’s Tower at Tokyo DisneySea

On April 1 (in what was not an April Fools’ Day joke), a video showed Fantasy Springs’ outdoor Rapunzel animatronic being attacked by crows. They were fittingly yanking out her hair to use for nesting materials. The animatronic was temporarily removed; when she reappeared in her tower a week later, she sported what appeared to be new, crow-proof hair.

But crows are incredibly intelligent birds, and Tokyo DisneySea’s resident murder wasn’t about to be deterred from foraging around Fantasy Springs for nesting materials. They’ve now set their sights on another Tangled character with flowing locks: Maximus.

A TikTok video shot on the Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival boat ride shows a pair of crows plucking hair from the Maximus animatronic’s mane and tail. One crow even stares straight at the camera.

The video was shared by TikTok user myao_8888:
