sambu13 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 i dont know if this is common and i just havent seen it before but ive recently seen a couple of crows picking up large pebbles and flying off with them, i even saw one drop its stone on a bus. but today i saw one covering its pebble with grass cuttings. is this normal and im being stupid? sambu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEREALTHRILLER Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) They take the stones and put them in jugs that are part full of water so it raises the water level and they can have a drink. I know this is true cos I saw it on "fingermouse" years ago Edited April 28, 2008 by CEREALTHRILLER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre6br Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 spray white golf balls with anti-stick cooking spray canola oil or similar put sprayed golf balls out in a field hide crows try and pick up sprayed golf balls but cannot- their crys of frustration normally attracts a few others you get a chance to bag more than a couple of crows at one sitting- especially with you guys able to have sound moderator Later p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
