Thanks for the comments.

T'was written on a camping/fishing (read 'drinking') trip but informed by a conversation with an old Aboriginal man - 'That Old Man' was how he described the crow and he did indeed deeply implore me to pay attention when 'he' spoke... So many things we do not properly understand.

I like that one, Hully . . . crows have an impeccable memory for human faces apparently. Smart cookies they are.

Really enjoyed this Hully - and a "murder" of crows is one of the most intriguing of the collectives ... like a "parliament" of owls!

I saw something quite rare the other day - a dead crow on our road, hit by a car. They are usually so road-wise, but perhaps it was a young one. We currently have them nesting in bush across the road and the nest has also been hijacked by cuckoos, who let out a sound like a wailing child ... half the night!

My resident crows have decided to tap their beaks on my windows each morning because, well, just because they like doing it. I love listening to them talk to each other.

That would do it for me Heather, I'd have the BSA slug gun out. I really enjoyed reading that Hully.
