We need to put a nickel deposit on cigarette butts and they would never be thrown away again, or if they are, someone will pick them up. Worked for bottles for years.
I seen a horse fly. I seen a house fly. But I ain’t ever seen no elephant fly!!
thought this thread was about the view...... carry on
Crows, not hens.
Better yet, just ban filters on cigarettes.
Let me know when they stop pooping on cars.
I dunno. Crows are smart. They might just pick up similar things (a bit of twig) to get the food. ...Or folks might simply start dumping butts accumulated in their homes or cars to “help ‘em out.”
Neat idea, though! Curious to read how it all shakes out when it its tor-real.
One morning on my way to work there was a crow on the power line holding a flip top cigarette box in his beak!
And yet not one Pic. at the link with a Crow with a blunt in it’s mouth. So get back to me....
“...[crowd] could be the smartest animals on the planet besides primates with a level of reasoning equal to a seven-year-old.”
Joey feels his job is in danger.
Does not work at Aldi grocery store. There is requirement to deposit a quarter to obtain a shopping cart. But I see many carts abandoned in parking lots. For many it is not worth the walk back to store front to retrieve their quarter.
They need to make it a Kruggerand, right?
(I love Aldi’s and now I have one 2 miles away)
In other news, there is an epidemic of lung cancer among crows….
For many it is not worth the walk back to store front to retrieve their quarter.

So those who don’t get their quarter back have made a contribution
to ALDI’s net income thus helping pay salaries.
O.K., way out in left field. Over 60 years ago, I saw a short film, all the characters were ravens/crows, they were on a miniature set, sidewalks, buildings, etc. I was obviously amazed because I still think of it today.
Tried to search for it online. Not successful. Anybody remember such a film?
PETA says cruelty to animals.
Beak cancer on the rise.
Some kid could make some real money on Saturday.
On a similar note. I don’t go into grocery stores where the shopping carts are abandoned in the parking lot, because it has the type of clientele I do not want to be around.
The quarter does not go back to Aldi. It goes to the next person who grabs the unattended cart, shops with it, and then returns it to the cart-barn to retrieve a quarter.
