[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1622054, member: 78056"] I used to shoot crows but had an "experience" while deer þbhunting in Arizona. I watched a crow fly up a valley, squawking madly. When he got to the highest end, he (she?) turned around and flew back, into the slight wind. When he got to the other end (where I was standing, watching) he pulled up abruptly, folded one wing against his body and did what we aerobatic pilots call an "aileron roll." I was stunned, having never seen this type of behavior with any bird. He flew up and down the valley a half a dozen times, and on each pass he did the roll almost directly over my head, squawking madly. I, of course, did not have a camera with me. It's the first time I've ever seen any bird actually enjoying the fact that they can fly! Since that time I have just not been able to bring myself to shoot them since I too, enjoy flying and aerobatics. I understand why others don't want them around but I just can't bring myself to kill them. I guess I'm just an old softie! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
