Kewl site. Read the article about the crows. There was actually a study (before that one) showing that crows were smarter than previously thought. Two crows. Two bags of garbage. One hooked stick, one straight stick. The crow that got stuck w/ the straight stick bent it into a hook, and opened the bag. Crazy shit. Of course, those that go to Japan know that their crows are on some sort of steroid.
I threw a rock at a crow and it jumped out of the way AN INSTANT before it hit it in the head. Yeah, I'm mean.
Those Japanese crows are bloody scarry. Some of them are way over sized. I had a mate that swore that this one crow had him on it's death wish list. He's say that every time he'd go out this one crow would dive at his head with it's mouth open. Yakumo
funny you people mention crows two days ago i was at Bilka(a "big" supermarket mall thing) in the city of Hundige and i was with my father and he and i saw a crow over a Jehovas Witness and it made me laugh hard because there was so much symbolic in it and i wish i had my analog camera with me the crow birds we have in Denmark are Corvus frugilegus http://www.udstillinger.dnlb.dk/Kjarbolling/Images/small/Kjarbolling/Fugle/1120.jpg the raven http://home.online.no/~kgrondal/jaktfelt/bilder/ravn.jpg the grey crow http://www.ecopro.dk/images/krage.jpg the black crow http://www.natursiden.dk/Fugle/DuerSkader/stor/SortKrage2.jpg yes the danish name for a crow is krage and sort is the danish word black.
