Crows Are Very Smart!
I’m ashamed to say that I’ve killed my share of crows earlier in my life! And I want to make sure that you don’t make the same mistakes that I made! Not understanding the brilliance of these birds The next time someone calls you a “bird brain”, remember to thank them! All the birds are smarter than we are!
Here’s a video showing how smart they really are: Are Crows the Ultimate Problem Solvers?
First, they are smart enough to migrate for the various seasons of the year. Second, they don’t need to read a map to get to the proper destination! 3rd, they find a way to migrate for free! We cannot accomplish even one of these tasks! Even as I write this; it saddens me how much, many of us are influenced by others; including family and friends; for I had a neighbor earlier in life that loved his yard and had made friends with some Blue Jays like many folks he didn’t like the crows coming around for a variety of reasons; among which was the crows would harass the jays to steal their food, nest sites, even their young; according to ‘Jack’ a general nuisance. Jack knew i had a BB\Pellet Rifle and loved to shoot so it didn’t take much to conceive me & employ my services! a green light I WAS GOOD TO GO! I had just recently accurized my rifle; it worked so well I couldn’t miss in fact I had another neigbor from across the street that saw my rifle. started ragging on me & my ‘toy’ at 1st I didn’t understand why? Then in the course of conversation; it became clear! He was a Beaman-dealer! those are high -end guns with a price tag to match! but he had no idea how good I was: So I chose him off; I told OK i’ll buy one of your guns; IF you can out shoot me!? well he jumped on that deal; so the day came I went across the street; I didn’t know what to expect it was total over kill on a 10 yard back-yard range his intent was to play for keeps, he had a range finder, a spotting scope, binoculars precise gadgets from pellet placement to pellet-skirt flaring tools; I thot to myself Oh Brother What A Goof! Well I had to give him props everything I hit he hit so we set a tie breaker; we set up pennies he shot 1st he did hit his penny but I hit mine dead center; No scope just plain-ole iron sights! I did not have to buy anything; but I was given his rifle by his wife when he passed a few months later;-(. I have another friend after watching me shoot exclaim “man I’d hate to be your target”! One of the reasons for my confidence; was only some days before; I had killed a crow from an impossible distance from my backdoor to the furthest corner of Jack’s back-yard, on a phone pole wire unbeknownst to me; I later found out that Jack had witnessed that very shot & told me that he had wondered what had happened for that crow once hit exactly pin point where I had aimed I was in dis belief I had actually made that impossible shot; I had to hop the fence to find that crow; it wasn’t hard I could hardly believe I actually hit him in the small of the throat just under the beak exactly were i had aimed! I have mixed bitter-sweet memories of it now; it will remain the best shot I wish now; I could have never made back then; but thank YaH I’m that new creature now; Biblically promised several places; still not perfect but not who I was either! Still submitted to YaH’s process of being made Set Apart! committed to endure to the end! Only then being “Saved” I FREELY admit my former actions, were wickedly evil HalleluYaH I’m no longer that hurt, evil, wicked, hate filled man I was! Shalom! Blessings!
