Re: Crow behaviour

I was once working for someone who had a magpie trap in their garden, think it was called a larson or something like that. It had a live magpie in one side which attracted others into it and trapping them. I went and had a look at it and the bird in it looked up at me and I could see inteligence there. As I turned to walk away there was a tap tap on the trap, I turned round and the bird was still looking at me, so I turned again and then tap tap again. The bird was tapping its beak on the side of the trap, trying to tell me something, let me out I suppose.
My customer caught about 30 magpies in the trap and shot them all, but the live bird used as bait he released, which I thought was nice of him..............Jon
