It's A Cah, It's A Cah!

Mrs Shirley sends me some riotous emails each day.  Some make me sad, some make me cry, some make me smile and some make me laugh out loud and embarrass myself with my guffaw.  This one was one of those and too good not to share it with you all.  I am an Ornithophobic.  I have a huge terror of multiple birds.  I don't know when it began....could have been walking through the throngs of pigeons at the Palm Beach County library when I was small and having them fly....or it could have been after seeing Alfred Hitchcocks movie, The Birds.  When ever it was.... birds in mass do not make me smile.  Trivia on the other hand rocks my world....which makes this email.....priceless....

Crow Mortality Rate Study, useful trivia for today.....

They just recently found over 200 dead crows near Halifax N.S. , and there was concern that they may have died from the Avian Flu virus.

A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, . However, he was also able to determine, to everyone's relief, that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with large trucks, and only 2% were killed by car impact.

The Province of Nova Scotia hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine the disproportionate percentages for the large truck versus car kills. The Ornithological Behaviorist determined the cause in short order.

When crows eat road kill, they always set-up a look-out Crow in a nearbytree to warn of impending danger. His conclusion was that the lookout crow could say "Cah", but he could not say "Truck."

Now you know!

Thank you Mrs. Shirley for the smile on my face today!!!!!!
