CROW FACTS......Interesting

Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater
Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.

A Bird Pathologist examined the` remains of all the crows, and, to
everyone's relief, confirmed the` problem was definitely NOT Avian
Flu. The cause of death appeared to be` vehicular impacts.

However, during the detailed` analysis it was noted that varying
colors of paints appeared on the` bird's beaks and claws. By analyzing these paint residues it
was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with
trucks,` while only 2% were killed by an impact with a` car.

MTA then hired an Ornithological` Behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the
disproportionate` percentages of truck kills versus car kills.

He very quickly concluded the` cause: When crows eat road kill, they
always have a look-out crow in a` nearby tree to warn of impending
danger.

They discovered that while all` the lookout crows could shout
"Cah", not a single one could shout` "Truck."

Poor crows.

Where are Heckle and Jeckle when you need 'em? Perfect enunciators, and with a bit of flair as well.

 

[Jinglebob]

They can't say "shotgun" either. I've researched it.

Mine never did learn more than a half-dozen words. Great pet, though. Would freak the other kids at school completely out when he'd come winging down to land on my shoulder.

I never knew they could learn to talk at all.
And I thought I was cool with my stupid pet squirrel.

Actually, when I was a lot younger I was hired to shoot crows off a farmers field. The key to success was to find the lookout and plug him first. After that it was pretty easy to clean up a flock.

I think a pet squirrel could be pretty cool... I mean, with stuff like this going on at home you wouldn't even need a TV!

Actually they taste surprisingly good-almost like sparrow( or so I'm told ).
You will need a bunch as the breast is kinda small. Skin out the breast and cut the two filets away from the bone-you'll need about a pound of meat-to that we need the following
2 medium onions
2 fresh chilies chopped
2 ribs celery
3 cloves garlic minced
¼ pound butter
16oz. chicken broth
1 can whole tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
8oz. ketchup
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 tablespoon Tony's seasoning
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 tablespoons garlic sauce
1/4 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 pound (12 pieces, or so) crow breast chopped into bite-sized pieces
Preparation
Brown the crow breasts in a skillet with butter or oil. When browned, place them in a Sauté onion, celery, chilies and garlic in butter until tender. Add the above ingredients and all of the remaining ingredients to a crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours.

To serve, heap about 1 cup of rice in the center of the plate, and ladle a generous amount of the sauce around it. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Pretty tasty!
