A recent AB Government study, has found over 200 dead crows
near Calgary, Alberta 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, to everyone's relief.
However, he was also able to determine that 98% of the crows
had been killed by impact with large trucks, and only 2% were killed by car
impact.
The Provincial Government hired an Ornithological
Behaviorist from Toronto 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 nearby tree to warn of impending danger.
His conclusion was that:
The lookout crow could say "Cah", but he could not
say "Truck."
