I know that some letter carriers have an occupational hazard involving dogs (see video). But hawks?

CALGARY ~ Rain, snow, sleet and hail may not stop the mail from getting through, but dive-bombing birds sure will.
   Canada Post has suspended mail service in part of the southwest Calgary community of Bayview because a hawk has been attacking the letter carrier.
   The hawk is so aggressive it even broke a bike helmet the carrier was wearing to protect herself.
   A family of the birds is living in a tree in the community, but hasn't harassed any of the residents.
   Some people say they were told it's because the hawks think the carrier is a predator.
   Canada Post spokesperson Theresa Williams says they'll try delivering the mail to the affected 150 homes again next week.
