My mom had a rooster that hated me. He wasn’t super aggressive but would attack after warning me if I didn’t leave quick enough.

I solved the problem by repeating “I’m going to pick you up” while chasing him down and catching him. I’d wrap him up in a towel, take him inside, and we’d watch “How it’s Made” while I pet and talked to him. He hated it.

After a few days of that he mostly left me alone. If he started puffing up I’d just tell him “I’m going to pick you up”: he’d instantly deflate and run away making unhappy noises.
