Crow damage on Tups

[Dougy]

Crows pecking the backs from Tups. Terrible damage, out 1st thing thing them out hopefully the ones causing this. 

When folk ask why we do what we do, they should see these types of Images. Tubs given treatment for infection, good job its not warm weather or they would be fly blown and full of maggots.

Unfortunately there is a kind of mass ignorance of the harm that can be inflicted by corvids, and there is an awful lot of them

[oowee]

This is an interesting one that I don't see around here (not saying it does not happen). Lots of damage at lambing time and certainly attacks and killing of sheep suffering any rot or flys but I don't think i have seen this sort of thing. That said we don't have so many sheep.

Not seen it on sheep's backs as if their back can get pecked they can move and get the crows off, seen plenty with holes pecked in their stomachs and guts pulled out by ravens when they get stuck on their backs.

The farmers seen the crows on the backs  pecking away (he has done what he can when he's seen them, certainly not ignored) the Tups just stand there.
