[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 117982, member: 637"] We have crows year-around here. They are pretty smart birds. I stop at Wal Mart to grab a bite 5:00 in the morning. They mostly hang out there. People coming out of McDonalds throw their carton of french fries down and the crows are there to clean them up. One crow will grab a supersized carton of left-over fries. He will start running with it and the others will chase him down. Then they clean up popcorn, burgers, hotdogs or anything else left. Of course we have them out in the country too. I mostly hear them when something is getting close to a nest and they swarm what ever it is. They are busy on the interstate and highways picking up roadkill. Seeding here starts in October. I don't see them in the fields much. They do not bother the crops here. They are a scavenger mostly. Finding dead animals and taking the meat and fat, and hiding it for later use. Here is a real interesting article about a female crow, Betty, that made tools out of wire to get meat out of a bottle. Her husband, Abel, would take the wire away from her after she made it to get the meat out too. And they said she was smarter than he was!
