Hitchcock

on my ride home from work i witnessed a crime for sure ly so many crows were flocking to the city to protest what was to be a banging of bells and a whistling of whistles to keep them from roosting and pooping on people though a stupid solution hatched to keep them from coming but now in numbers they refuse to be hassled or rousted by the man and his unfortunate understand ingly less then real ity but morbid ity of the word human kind in no way to say they are kind but in their mind for now they have consecrated these crows to become a murder

A Murder of crow, a formidable sight. Revengeful and their intelligence enables them to hand over this revenge as far down as their grandchildren - an incredible write Jeff. Well penned Jeff. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you Jennifer. I knew of their intelligence and antics, but not how they passed these down. Really interesting. Thanks.

The city used to boast about having a nesting pair of peregrine falcon that I'm sure we're there for the pigeons. But even they have moved on over the years.

The only method I've heard of working is using a falcon: the falconer releases the captured crow, the crow tells the others and they simply cannot wrap their heads around the humans and falcons working together and they move on.

We are going to the city tomorrow night for dinner, and I found out just today at work that starting soon, the city decided to start ring bells a blowing horns and whistles between 5 and 9pm to keep the crows away!!!

I thought of you Maureen when I saw the massive more than several hundred crows flying as I was coming home tonight. I wanted to just tell you, so instead wrote this poem.
