bexrbetter Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Marty_d Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Perry Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I get annoyed they screach out my name every morning, it's like being married to every one of them. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" 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.
