Crow death rate

[bexrbetter]

A genuine Australian University study was launched into why 98% of roadkill crows were caused by trucks and 2% by small vehicles....

 

It was noted that when crows feasted on other roadside roadkill that a lookout or 2 would stay in a tree or high ground to warn of impending danger. It was also noted that while crows could call out the word 'Car", they could not pronounce truck.

Crows are tasty.

 

In China they would eat them, just like baby sparrows are a delicacy.

Baby birds are too common than to label them delicacy.

 

Never surprises me anymore what they eat, ie; anything, but more to the point, any part of anything.

Graham? - back from the dead or is that you Rosemary?

Slight thread drift - old farmer couple I knew had a cockatoo which would not only mimic the phone ring tone, but also would screech out "Max! MAX!! MAAAXX!!!" exactly like the wife - so old Max would drag his arthritic bones up from the shed to the house to find out what his wife wanted, only to find it was the bird.

 

I would have been tempted to shoot the damn thing.

Get used to it. We (Australia) are selling so much to them (China) that we will be eating whatever scraps they send us.

If we could get them to take all the galah's, we would be better off. Nev

 

 

[Guernsey]

Do they eat some humans as well?

How would the country then run without politicians?

 

Don't answer that

 

 

[facthunter]

Some of our politicians are the best money can buy. Nev

 

 

[Marty_d]

Trouble is, there's probably not much meat on politicians when you remove all the hot air!

 

Apart from Joe Hockey and Dick Adams, that is. Plenty of meat on them.

 

 

[AVOCET]

That's not meat their full of !

Oh, I KNOW I Know. . . .it's awful sometimes what fate does to poor defenceless animals,. . . . my neighbour has a rather large dog, I think it's a giant poodle or something crossed with a labrador ( Giant Labradoodle ? ? ? ) dunno, but the poor thing is most distressed when he is doing a bit of overtime and is late home from his work shift. The poor thing stands at the end of the driveway making a noise which for all the world sounded like . . . . "MARK - - - MARK - - -MARK " . . . . It got so bad that I just HAD to ask him what it was doing and he told me that the poor thing had a Hair Lip.

Primary school teacher says to the bunch of five year olds gathered around,. . . now children, last week we talked about Deductions,. you remember, if something happens, you think very carefully and then you DEDUCE the reason for what is happening. . .now, have any of you got an example of this today,. . .how about, you young Kevin,. . . what have you got there ? . . . . . . young Kevin produces a matchbox and opens it to reveal a small spider. He takes out the spider and puts it on the desktop. He says to the spider. . . "Spider - walk towards me". The spider does as it is told. He then says, "spider, walk away from me to the edge of the desk". . . the spider turns around and does this. . He then picks up the spider and pulls out all of it's legs. He then says. . " Spider, walk towards me" . . .the spider does not move. He than asks "Spider, walk to the end of the desk " Again the spider doesn't move. Kevin looks up and smiles at the teacher.

 

The teachers winces, and asks . ." Mmm, OK then Kevin, . . . . what do you deduce from this ?"

 

Kevin says, " Well Miss,. . . it's obvious. . . if you pull a spider's legs off,. . . it goes deaf.
