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.

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.

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.

It's part of pre-season training.

They stole the idea from Port Power.

Here am i writing about sticks and stones. Stone the crows....


Mmm talking about bait, I may try scattering some pebbles around that area
of the yard and put a balloon on a string near the pebbles. Next, place some
drawing pins between the balloon and myself, then pull string when crow is
conveniently close. Watch crows face when balloon bursts. I'm sure the
neighbours already think I'm potty, so it won't make much difference.

I'm tired of running outside and they see me approaching now. My husband
couldn't be bothered anymore after the first few runs. Had a go with a short
burst on the hose but other than there being a hose pipe ban on, it doesn't
reach as far as I'd like it to and there's an obstacle in the way. The crows
have also spotted my hand reaching for the hose just outside the door and
they fly off before I can get the pleasure of squirting them.

Next stop dynamite.

Simple, put some strands of fishing line where they steal their
diamonds. Flying into invisible fishing line un nerves them and they

Wow another thinker.
BUT If she hits him wid de flying pan or is it the frying pan, what would
she use to cook though?
And she could also, maybe start her own circus, methinks. However this much
like any other marriage,
one sees flying saucers and another one sees flying pans. Others see stars
and dont know what hit em.
I think it be called love. Settle down ladies. its all in natures plan (To

Mmm talking about bait, I may try scattering some pebbles around
that area of the yard and put a balloon on a string near the
pebbles. Next, place some drawing pins between the balloon and
myself, then pull string when crow is conveniently close. Watch
crows face when balloon bursts. I'm sure the neighbours already
think I'm potty, so it won't make much difference.

I'm tired of running outside and they see me approaching now. My
husband couldn't be bothered anymore after the first few runs. Had
a go with a short burst on the hose but other than there being a
hose pipe ban on, it doesn't reach as far as I'd like it to and
there's an obstacle in the way. The crows have also spotted my hand
reaching for the hose just outside the door and they fly off before
I can get the pleasure of squirting them.

Next stop dynamite.



Simple, put some strands of fishing line where they steal their
diamonds. Flying into invisible fishing line un nerves them and they
wont be back.

Just make sure hubby knows the fishing line's there too...

Wow another thinker.
BUT If she hits him wid de flying pan or is it the frying pan, what would
she use to cook though?
And she could also, maybe start her own circus, methinks. However this
much like any other marriage,
one sees flying saucers and another one sees flying pans. Others see stars
and dont know what hit em.
I think it be called love. Settle down ladies. its all in natures plan (To
frustrate the hell out of each other)
Crows are part of this game. Youre only a pawn in natures cruel game.



LMAO...that's why you never buy your wife cast iron cookware

Well, the obvious approach would be the good old frying pan over the
head. Or the rolling pin, depends on personal taste.
i'm just kind of amazed you have a husband who can fly. if he's so
talented, would you not want to keep him about the place with no head
injuries?

Cast Iron ? Hell no, too much weight to keep it up in the air. As an
model aircraft flyer, aluminium is the way to go. ]

Hmmm but does it have the impact value of cast iron? Do you get that good,
solid, 'BONNG" sound when you bop someone over the head with it?

Hmmm if you get that sorta boing he would be dead with cast iron. It
would hafta be 'is 'ead.
Cartoons have a lot to answer for!
Boing occurs when a thin metal hits a thick skull. Would you agree with
that?
