[tamborine]

Theyre calling next to jump over the moon - lol. There is a disturbance ie fox, poachers, calving, randy for a bull or hungry & lonely. Yell "sharrup"!

[bunkmoreland]

Cows are nosy animals,something has piqued their interest,other animal in the field with them,or in the field next to them!

[lardhelmet]

Well I wish they'd pipe down. I can't sleep through all the noise.

Playing my bagpipes.

The Larson cartoon reminded me of this.
Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.
However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analyzing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
MTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviorist very quickly concluded the cause: when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger.
The scientific conclusion was that while all the lookout crows could say "Cah", none could say "Truck."

Well it's 12.06 (or 11.06pm) and I've not heard a peep out of the cows tonight. Must all be at Halloween parties or still out trick or treating.
