Title: Angry Birds!
Post by: Heredoggydoggy on September 05, 2012, 09:47:22 AM: I woke up at sunrise this morning to 20 or 30 Crows at my neighbor's fir tree screaming their heads off. I figure they chased an owl or something into the tree and are harrassing it. Now, at nearly 10:00 AM, they're still out there at it! If my mother hadn't loved crows so much, I'd shoot every goddam one of them! >:(

My mother did--She used to say that when she was a little girl on the farm she'd wake up in the morning and listen to them. Right up 'til she died at 83, she loved to watch them. That's why I can't bring myself to shoot one, no matter how much I'd like to.

Not in this residential neighborhood. The only thing I shoot is my shrouded-barrel 22 pellet pistol. Yesterday morning I walked over to the neighbor's tree, and the neighbor's wife was working in the garden under the tree while the crows were raising hell. I asked her what she did to piss off the crows, and she said: "I thought it was your handiwork!". I bent down and picked up a dead Starling and said: "No--THIS is my handiwork." :chuckle:

All is quiet this morning. Guess whatever the crows were harrassing is gone. When I'm out coyote hunting, sometimes I put out my Squawking Magpie decoy, and play crow calls on my e-caller, and crows, magpies and hawks come in from miles away to see what the commotion is! :tup:
