Crow Mystery Solved
Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found
over 200 dead crows near Boston, MA 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
nearby tree to warn of impending danger.
The conclusion was that while all the lookout crows could
say ""Cah"", none could say
""Truck.""
