[Birding-Aus] Stone the Crows, Lah

[Carl Clifford]

Dear All,

Sometime in the past decade, I remember a debate on the House Crow and
potentially harmful they could be in our environment. When I first
visited Singapore, in 1993, I did not notice great numbers of House
Crows. That appears to have changed. These clips from Singapore's
RazorTV are quit interesting. Very proactive control measures. See:

I've just got around to watching these clips, interesting to compare to the situation here. Crows were swooping on people who walked near their nests, so a car arrived, marked "Crow culling, keep clear", and a man got out and shot some crows, in among the high rise flats! When people complained that they did this near a playground, it was explained that it's not practical to give people advance warning.
