I've heard the West Nile virus got them all. We have crows, ravens and fish crows here. We have crows here, right now, in the Sawtooth Mountains of central Idaho. They're just about the only bird that hangs around through the winter. I think they survive on roadkill. They are very wary birds, because Idaho has a year-long open season on crows. Why anyone would want to shoot one is totally beyond me. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address.

As I recall, I'm not the only one who uses Netscape for both news and email and has mistakenly posted one for the other. But if you have to eat crow, boil it before you roast it. ;-) -- Ken Fortenberry |

Ravens are clever animals. They can count and have a concept of numbers up to 6 or 7 from what I remember. Quite a few years ago we were hangin' around the tent in a Yellowstone campground and in an hour or two I had a raven starting to say "Hello". Well, it was coming out "Caw-woo" or something like that. Alas, we left the next day to somewhere else so I never got to finish. He was around the loop we were on every day and I thought it would be cool for the next people if he started begging by saying "hello" rather than just being obnoxious. Jon. PS: Jellybeans were the "treat" I was using. |

Love those corvids! Jays, crows and ravens. My favorite birds. g.c. In a lot of ways, mine too. And don't forget the Magpies. Most clever animals. Growing up we would raid crow and magpie nests for a couple of the young birds to raise as pets. We had much better success with the crows than the magpies. (Although, in his youth, my father raised a magpie that was legend. Well, at least family legend. He named him Mac and managed to teach him to say "Hello, Mac" or at least something close. Close enough to scare the devil out of old Mac Waddell anyway. Mac Waddell was a distant neighbor who happened to stop by for a visit one day. As he was chatting with my grandfather, our feathered friend flew up and landed next to Mr. Waddell and as polite as could be squawked, "Hello, Mac." Well, as the story goes ole Mr. Waddell lit out of there and was not to be seen at my grandfathers place for many a moon.) Most of the magpies we raised would leave as soon as they could fly, but one of them hung around for a couple of years and would fly up on a window sill and beg for food. He wouldn't let us touch him but he would take food from us. We raised several crows, though, with great success. One in particular, we named him Alex, was memorable. To say that Alex was a character would be an understatement. To call him a pest would be accurate. Most of all he was lovable. Alex and our Border Collie, Brownie, were best of friends. At least so thought the crow. He pestered and teased that poor dog to no end. One of his favorite antics was to perch on the Brownies head and then pull his ears. The dog endured it well for the most part and at times seemed to enjoy the pesterings of his feathered friend. Sometimes this ear pulling would evolve into a hilarious game of tag with each taking turns chasing each other around the yard. Alex would often follow me when I went out in the fields to work. He would usually just sit on a fence post at one end of the field while I worked. But if I had to stop to say, fix a broken cutting blade on the swather, he would fly there in a moment to check out what was going on. This is where he could be a real pest. If he wasn't watched closely he would steal anything he could get his beak on--nuts, bolts, tools--anything he could snatch and carry off. Fortunately, we knew he favorite hiding place, so we were able to retrieve most of what he stole, but he did manage to lose a few things. Sorry this was so long, but George's comment about loving those birds opened the memory floodgates. Russell |
