Me too, Russell. I had a couple of pet Magpies when I was a kid and lived
in Idaho Falls. After having them as pets I discovered that they are very
smart birds. One of my birds could say his name - "Bread".


Probably cousins of mine. My Magpies were from Driggs.

I just want you guys to know that according to Idaho Statute 36-701,
keeping captive magpies is perfectly legal. :-)

Russell

Long ago and far away when I was in High School there was a pet crow
that belonged to a couple of kids. It had an pretty extensive
vocabulary, it was smart mouth but not vulgar. It would land on the
window sill ( this was 1920s early California architechure, with
windows that were opened for AC ) behing in class and say things like
"Watch the dog", "Hi sweetie", "Whens supper" etc. It could also
whistle short notes of various types. The teachers would chase it
away and it would come or go as it fancied.
It roamed around, was well known about town and didn't just follow it
owners. No one bothered it even though at the time California had a
15 cent bounty on crows.

Saw somethin' on the discovery channel this mornin' about ravens who
observed trout ice-fisherman positioning lines into a fishin' hole, only
to
have them repeatedly pulled up by fish stealin' ravens.....

Musta been after they lost in the first round of the playoffs. I thought
they'd be golfin'.

The quote reads as follows and comes from the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
somewhere in the mid- 1800s;
"If men had wings and bore black feathers, few of them would be smart enough
to be crows."

Snakefiddler- didn't already know that- looked it up
:-)

Are there any crows left in that part of the world? I've heard the West
Nile virus got them all. We have crows, ravens and fish crows here. You
have to pracitcally kill them and run a DNA test to tell one fromt he other.
Crows are replacing some of the pigeons in town. They are much more
interesting to watch. We have a murder of crows that hang around the salt
mine, they bomb the parking lot with wallnuts.
Odin had two crows, if I think long enough I remember their names.

"Hunin" and "Munin". "Thought" and "Memory".

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.
