If only crows could be used like cormorants... those thieves
devour my blueberries... even well netted... they're very smart and
persistant, they'll work in teams dive bombing the netting pressing it
down so that their partner can reach the berries, and they share by
taking turns. Naturally they only take the perfectly ripened ones. A
few years ago I gave up on netting, let them have a good time. Crows
are the only bird I've met that know to fold a slice of bread in
quarters before flying off with it so it won't flap about hindering
their flight. Crows rarely eat where they find food, they bring it to
a safe place first... and they look about for several minutes before
snatching food to be sure they're not being tricked. I like crows,
they keep the planet clean and they're very entertaining... they don't
migrate so in winter they struggle to eat, so I feed my murder of
crows, they like meat trimmings, they love hotdogs. They must be
watching my back deck constantly, when I toss out the trimmed fat from
meat they are on the ground before I can close the door, and they are
watching from the tree tops some 500+ yards away. Nothing critters
eat ever goes into my trash can. In winter the drippings from a roast
get tossed in the snow, keeps crows from starving, I typically sop the
drippings with expired bread too... even if I toss out plain stale
bread I drizzle it with olive oil. People need to stop and think,
even the few crumbs from a bag of cookies or from slicing bread will
keep a critter alive. Humans stole their environment, we are
obligated to feed them... I will never donate anything to feed an able
bodied human... get a J O B! Food banks, soup kitchens and the like
are purely a SCAM! Anyone who can walk to a soup kitchen can work...
pick up litter, scrub floors on your hands and knees, clean shit from
animal rescue cages, but do something to earn your meal. Any able
bodied person who is unwilling to do anything to earn their meal needs
to be institutionalized, I'd rather my taxes go to institutionalize
the scammers than to support their drug addictions. I'm tired of
feeding druggies, pimps, and whores We got a president who's a
druggie and a pimp, our first lady is no lady, she's a ho. And their
two spawn are spoiled *******s too, acorns don't fall far from the
tree, ACORNS! I'd shut that LYING mother ****er's mouth in a Brooklyn
minute.
