Researchers for the Ohio Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Cleveland area 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.

OTA 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 "Truck!."
When they come for mine they better bring theirs

Well you will be glad to know that the problem may soon end.  It seems that obama has given his brother (the one that he doesn't know, but lived with, that isn't in the states, but has been here for years) a 50 million dollar grant to teach the crows to say truck.  While accepting the grant the brother said that he would start immediately on the problem as soon as he has spent the 50 million.

The 50 mill went on section 8 bird houses! The new funds are for liquor stores and rehabs to keep them in the area for studying.
