#1 Well, it is not a pretty story.... about 200 dead
crows near Halifax, and there was concern for 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 determined that
98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, and only 2% were killed
by car impact. The Province then hired a Ornithological Behaviorist to
determine the disproportionate percentages for truck versus car
kill.
#2 The Ornithological Behaviorist determined the
cause in short order. When crows eat road kill, they always post a "look-out
Crow" in a nearby tree, to warn of impending danger. His conclusion was that the
lookout crow could say "Cah", but he could not say
"Truck."
Sorry, I really could NOT stop myself
from posting this message...
I did however try...I really did but
obviously failed miserably.!
