Another Government study provides outstanding results . . .
Officials admitted that they found about 200 dead crows on the motorway between Birmingham and Bristol, where there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.
The Government approved and RSPCB contracted a bird pathologist to examine the remains of all the crows and he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, much to everyone’s relief.
However, he determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with HGV vehicles, and only 2% were killed by car impact.
The authorities then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine the disproportionate percentages for truck versus car kills.
After 18 months of research and £2.7 million spent, the Ornithological Behaviourist determined the cause in the deaths.
When crows eat road kill, they always set-up a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger.
His conclusion was that the lookout crow could say “Cah”, but he could not say “Truck”.
