Government Researches crow behavior - fascinating
The facts: They recently found about 200 dead crows near Boston and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.
In doing the research, they had a bird pathologist examine the remains of all the crows and he confirmed that 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 impact with a car.
The Government then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist at Boston College to determine the disproportionate percentages for truck versus car kills. The Behaviorist determined:
When crows eat road kill, they always set-up a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger.
His conclusion was that the lookout crow could say "Cah, but could not say "Truck."
