Well, this is not a pretty story, but they found about 200 dead crows near Halifax, and there was great concern about the possibility of “Avian Flu”. They had a Bird Pathologist examine the remains of all the crows, and he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, to everyone's relief.

However, he did determine that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, and only 2% were killed by impact with cars. The Province then hired a Ornithological Behaviorist to determine why there were such disproportionate percentages for “truck versus car” kills.

The Ornithological Behaviorist determined the cause in very short order. When crows eat road kill, they always post a "look-out Crow" in a nearby tree, to warn of any impending danger.

His conclusion was that the lookout crow could easily say "Cah", but he could not say "Truck"!

Borrowed this from another site. Very Happy

That is brilliant 'Mitri...absolutely brilliant mate.

Its a bit like seagulls when I go to the beach. The number of seagulls hit by buses seems to rise dramatically...not sure if it has anything to do with me throwing chips in front of passing buses when there is a crowd of seagulls around. Question
