Eating crow - humour

Researchers for the  Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead  crows near greater Boston   recently, and there was concern that  they may have died from Avian  Flu.

 

A  Bird  Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief,  confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu.  The cause of death  appeared to be vehicular impacts. 
 

However,  during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared  on the bird's beaks and claws. 

By analyzing these paint residues it was  determined that 98% of  the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while  only 2%  were killed by an impact with a car. 

MTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine if   there was a cause for  the disproportionate percentages of truck kills   versus car  kills. 
He very  quickly concluded the cause:  When crows eat road  kill, they always have a  look-out crow in a nearby tree to  warn of impending danger. 

 

 

They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout  "Cah", not a single one could shout...
