I do! I do! However, they hid this to me. Probably feeling ashamed (or
foolish)... Just blamed the meteor for all their woes.
Crows in particular are very frank about the matter. However, who
believes crows? ;-)
[there is one in the neighbourhood for a couple of years now which has a
totally atypical cry for a crow. Makes me wonder if it has been brought
up by crows in the first place. It seems to be a solitary beast.]

They are all amazing creatures. Do you know Dougal Dixon?
http://www.dougal-dixon.co.uk/ Something to reflect upon are a couple of
his books I can recommend especially:
- After Man: A Zoology of the Future
- The New Dinosaurs
- Man after Man: an Anthropology of the Future
Speculative science of the highest degree!

I have always liked crows, and recently more so as they chased away a
plague of pigeons nesting in the neighbourhood.

should say Apatosaurus nowadays...). I wondered if the garden would not
be too small.
