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. 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. "Linda H" wrote in message u... Jonno wrote: 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 |

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! |

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?? -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |

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. |
