Crows stealing pebbles
"Cynthia" wrote in message ... Well, the crows probably don't see it as stealing, but they've recently taken to flying off with the pebbles I've used to mulch around pot plants. Does anyone know why they do this? They've been doing it daily for the last two weeks. I run out there whenever I see them, but they don't take me very seriously, they're normally back in the afternoon. Sometimes the pebbles they take are surprisingly large, but most of the time they're around 3-4cm in diameter. I thought that they might be curious about them because of their egg-like shape, but you'd think they'd get over it when they got no food from them. Cynthia. They are a bit like Bower birds they like the colour blue. A friend had his greenish/blue peebles stolen by grows. He gathered those up and replaced them with some other colour. No problems since. I also remember when the coloured golf balls were popular that the crows would pick them up and fly off. Here in WA that have declared rainbow lorikeets as a pest and are going to start culling them. It was also mentioned that the crow population had blown out and that it was on the cards they could be hunted as well. Richard |
