My car used to get gifts from birds, until I learned not to park beneath a particular tree.

Most species of crows are very intelligent.

I’m surprised the Beeb let this one out - this little girl

could possibly be taxed or axed by muzzie run UK and by that

I mean this news from the Beeb as nice as it is sanitized.

Good for this little girl & carry on!

Today we are going to the zoo. They have have a section for a petting zoo were you can feed the animals. Last time we were there I was trapped against a fence by an angry midget pony attacking a baby goat till a large lady quickly ran over and broke them up.

Don’t think I ever been to the zoo in February before but it is a nice day and should not be crowded. :)

One of my supervisors at work used to have a problem with many crows gathering in his yard. So then he took the garden hose to them.

Shortly afterwards, he noticed that when he went outside the crows perched on the wires outside the house stopped cawing. Later when he went outside to check his property he noticed quite a bit of bird poo on the side of his house.

Don’t like crows.

They bully the smaller birds at my feeders and they vacuum up all the food.

I shoosh them away so the regular birds can eat.

Little vultures.

When I was a kid Dad took us all to Deer Park in Coloma Michigan. The deer were tame and you could feed them. Fairly large group too. There was a sign you could not walk beyond. Dad turned his back, a deer came up and took the wallet right out of his back pocket and ran across the invisible barrier and proceeded to open up and chew on the wallet. Dad let loose a fine stream of curse words and called an attendant who eventually got the chewed up wallet for him.
