photopro Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) I was doing a bit of surfing mainly checking out crow calls, when I stumbled across a site. ASCAR, American Society for Crows and Ravens. An english guy had posted a question relating to "a big black bird tapping on the window in the next room". Now the most obvious answer is a Jackdaw, a bird which frequently nests in houses particularly chimneys. However America's answer to Mr Bean wrote: "This could well be a carrion crow (English natives), but also might be a woodpecker or, as the Limey's say, a Great ***. As to getting rid of it, ASCAR is in the business of admiring corvids, so does not give out information on how to drive them off. But as general advice, learn to enjoy these birds if you are fortunate to have them nearby (e.g. pecking on your window)." I'm surprised he didn't call it a "Window Pecker" but a Great *** !! - He most certainly is !! Plus "learn to enjoy these birds" - he is right, I enjoy the thud of the pellet, feel satisfied with my accuracy and are over joyed the miserable black **** has cawed it's last. photopro Edited March 31, 2006 by henry d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Did you take your medication this morning son shine??? Wouldn't worry about it it's no worse than PETA who blatantly kill the dogs they claim to rehome and fill the media with **** about mistreatment of animals the world over while they do just as bad or WORSE themselves. Crack a can open take a sip n relax. The world aint out to get us LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 You do wonder why the English chap posted that on an American Forum. So ASCAR must be a sort of American RSPB for corvids. They certainly are not part of Crowbusters.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 hi Brian welcome to a "decent" site cheers Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nildes Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 The obvious answer to me is Crows. This time of the year, if they see their reflection in a window, they think it is an intruder on their territory and try to drive it out. Thats why they peck the window.

photopro Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks Keith, It's been a while since I've been decribed as a "Newbie" anything shooter. It's going to blow your reputation - shooting with a "Newbie"! By the way the **** was a word beginning and ending in a T and rhyming with cat. (A bit over sensitive Mr Censor, I did leave one letter out.) photopro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
