walshie 2,804 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Walking back from town earlier I saw a crow hopping along the pavement like it was dazed or drunk or something. It let me walk right by it, two feet away without flying off. Further up the road, one was hopping about in the middle of the lane and didn't attempt to fly off when i walked past. My son ran one over today that just stood in the road in front of his car. And I just walked along the field with my 410 looking for squirrels and there was a crow taking 2 hops then falling over on its beak. Got up, 2 hops, same thing. The 410 cured it though. As crows normally fly off as soon as you look at them, what could make 4 crows act like this in a short space of time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
