Crows

[TOWIE]

We seem to have an influx of them lately, not sure why, but they are getting right on my t!ts. Us and next door had a new roof 2 years ago, and they are pooing all over it. Most of the roofs on the bungalows in our road have the same problem.

Anybody know anything about the dos and don'ts of crows.

There has always been a few knocking about, but just recently they seem to be busing them in on coaches.

[TOWIE]

I did suggest to Mr. Towie we get some of those spikey things they put on the roofs of supermarkets etc, but he cocked a deafen.

[ChuckFickens]

What do you mean dos and dont's??

You can shot them if you want.

[ChuckFickens]

or even shoot them....

Stone the Crows

[TOWIE]

Nah - I sold my rifle, my Son bought me for a Christmas Present a year ago.

I just don't understand why there should be so many of them all of a sudden.

[TOWIE]

hahaha, Marval - very good {:o)

I don't know about crows but I wish it were legal to shoot seagulls. I mean, it's not like they are an endangered species.

[TOWIE]

Off - Topic - we only have small t!ts round here, methyl - not even a flock would chase these buggers off.

[TOWIE]

Mike - you sure you want to be seen on the same thread as a hard nosed man hating bitch {:o/

[weecalf]

We had problem with them sitting on the fence had to chase them as they were gonna break the blooming thing maybe 6 /7 on it at a time

[ChuckFickens]

I think you can shoot lesser black backed gulls, greater black backed gulls and herring gulls, Mike.

[TOWIE]

weecalf - we had same problem with pigeons - I bought some of that plastic spike stuff you screw to the top of fence panels, it worked but we do still have the odd one or two chance their luck on the spikes.

[TOWIE]

I wonder if its all the wet weather we are having, that is making them flock on our roofs.

[julia-mag]

We have an influx at the moment but it is because they have brought their off-springs out, we know they are the same family for they all have a splodge of white somewhere on their body! Hopefully when they are fully fledged they will go further afield, and just leave Mum and Dad as per usual.

[TOWIE]

Julia - are you sure they are crows, with a white splodge it sounds like Magpies. Our crows are completely black all over.

[julia-mag]

Oh No They are CROWS , The Magpies stay away when the crows are around, and when the crows leave the Magpies are straight in, all 9 of them!

[RATTER15]

Towie, I think you will find that your crows are in fact rooks, crows dont flock like rooks and are more sllitary. Hence the saying:

If you see more the one crow in a field they are rooks and if you see a single rook in a field its a crow.

Chuck you are correct in saying that you can shoot a herring gull but only if it is causing a hazard to your health, you got to be careful to shoot the right bird, you cant just kill every herring gull just in case.

[julia-mag]

I felt sure when I first saw the white splodge on the crows that they had inadvertently sat under one that was doing a whoopsy!, but all the young ones are the same.

Magpies are evil little buggers. I once came home to find an injured magpie lying on the drive and two others which at first I thought were trying to help the injured one. As I grew closer I realised that in fact they were pecking the poor little sod to death. They flew off at my approach but it was too late to save the third.
