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.

Theyre showing of for their darlings, bringing treasures home to show
how "clever" they are and how much they care. Diamonds for poor female
crows.

Heh, that's kinda cute. Cynthia is providing crowy love tokens.

Well crows have feelings too. Theyre known to be about as smart as dogs.
Theyre all thieves. But their "women" appreciate this daring approach to
survival.

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.

Heh, that makes 'em as smart as... um, Britney and Kate Moss. Okay, not
hard, but they tend to get the hots for the bad boy crim types of their
species, too. Rock on, crows!

Recently?

They have been turning up in my yard. We were discussing it at morning
tea as to whether it was some idiot driving golf balls in their yard or
crows.

We've had a continuing problem with white pebbles from the driveway next
door migrating here. I always blamed little boys, but I guess the crows
were probably the culprits.

They've done a runner with all my pretty pebbles in the bird bath!

Now that you mention it, I seem to remember hearing about this. Don't
crows need a pebble to add to their cooking, or something??

Almost right, to cook a crow, you throw the crow in a pot, and a pebble,
when the pebble is tender the crow is cooked.
Also just ofr you, a blondes recipe for baking a roast, just in time for
Christmas....
Bake a small roast and a large roast together in a large oven. When the
small one is burnt, the big one is just right to eat.
