Hi

Was working in the garden on the weekend and I was surprised about the number of crows that are around Melbourne now. Seemed to be heaps of them around and I started wondering why there are so many. I imagine that it could be because of the drought and that they are forced into the South Eastern corner of the country.

Don't know if anyone else has noticed more of them than usual.

I also thought that some of our South Australia friends might have some nice recipies that they could share.

Unusual for this time of year, Crows are usually thriving in Melbourne during the colder months especially around the Docklands and the MCG. Lots of easy pickings fore them to feast on.
As for a recipe place a rock and a crow in a large pan of salted water and boil until the rock is soft, then throw out the crow and eat the rock.

Well, it's like this Big Kidz.

You Mexican's use up the water before it gets to us, so some of us Crows have to come over there for a drink, or whatever.

Antway, how do you know these people are Crows? are they wearing their colours, red, yellow, blue?

Oh bleep , I get it. You are talking about the feathered variety aren't you?
Sorry about that then:-)
