Report on Crow Kills.
Well, it is not a pretty story.... about 200 dead crows near Boston, and
there was concern for Avian Flu.
They had a Bird Pathologist examine the remains of all the crows, and he
confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu,
to everyone's relief.
However, he determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with
trucks, and only 2% were killed by car impact.
The city then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine the
disproportionate percentages for truck versus car kill. The Ornithological
Behaviourist determined the cause in short order. When crows eat road kill,
they always post a "look-out crow"
in a nearby tree, to warn of impending danger.
His conclusion was that the lookout crow could say "Cah", but he could not
say "Truck."
