So, and update;
The crow family at work have now outwitted four separate pest control companies AND the USDA guy who also tried to get them to leave. They are still pecking at shiny trucks and cannot be stopped by any force of humankind.
Current score;
Crows; 19
Humans; 0
The USDA guy was back today, and I told him “Sorry but I hope you lose” and he said “Oh I’m gonna, and I keep telling them that, but they won’t listen. I shot one crow near here four years ago and every crow in the county knows my face now, I’ll never get close to one again.”
So.Crows at work; 20.
Humans; 0
Shiny trucks pecked; 112
I once saw a crow pulling anti bird spikes off a windowsill and using them to build a nest, and I’ve never been quite the same since
Y’know I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sentence that sums up corvids so well as “Pulling anti bird spikes off a windowsill and using them to build a nest”
