Crows

"Loaf leader to Squirty Shit 3, target in sight, commencing shit run. "

Haha, I'm reminded of that scene in High Anxiety when Mel Brooks is sitting on the park bench, only for the birds to arrive. It's a spoof on Hitchock's "The Birds" but instead of attacking, they just shit all over him until he falls to the ground in surrender.

My pet crow never rode around on my shoulder or anything, my chickens did that.

Chickens would sit on your shoulder??

This thread is friggin' hilarious. I'd give it 5 stars, but it seems so cliched these days...

I could also "communicate" with them via chicken noises. Weirdest shit ever, my parents still don't know how I did it. I could tell them to come with me, or to go to their coop. Many family friends stared incredulously at me while that happened. Go me, i'm fucking nature boy.

Doctor Doolittle!

What did they say to you?

What did they say to you?

"What the hell are you doing in the bathroom day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?"

I saw some show on the Discovery Channel once about smart animals and crows were near the top of their list. They showed this cool footage of crows working together to steal food from a wolf. Some would get behind it and peck at it's tail to get it to turn around and hopefully chase them. When it would go after them, others would quickly come down and start eating the wolf's food until he returned. Rinse and repeat.

Yeah, crows are really smart. Crows and Ravens can be taught to mimic human speech. Almost as good as parrots. I'll bring my camera to school on wednesday, they should be swarming around when i finish tutoring.

Just for Jaykeeley and the rest who wanted pictures and/or doubted me.

I walk to work sometimes in good weather and just as the dawn is breaking, you can hear the crows calling out to each other, it's like a network or something. one cries out, and then the responses come in.

once I saw a large crow standing in a yard, with his wings spread out...there were three smaller crows all adopting a submissive posture in front of him, prostrating themselves on the ground as if supplicants...awesome.

Sounds like my bedroom.

I SAW THE NIGHTFALL
IT CALLED TO ME LIKE A RIVER OF SHADOWS
IT SANG TO ME WITH THE CRIES OF A THOUSAND RAVENS THAT BLACKENED THE SKY AS THEY TOOK FLIGHT
AND SANK THE SOL

 

[JayKeeley]

Erik -- fyi, your song quote posts are getting really old now. Like your mum.

So Conspicuously Absent, have you seen the movie, The Birds? Or better yet, High Anxiety? That's like where you live man: in an Alfred Hitchcock / Mel Brooks movie.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

nope. i'll have to watch both.

does the dude in either movie get the girl? If yes, then I don't mind at all.
