The RCMP found over 2000 dead crows on Alberta hwys recently, and there
was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Pathologist
examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief,
confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to
be from vehicular impacts. However, during analysis it was noted that
varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By
analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had
been killed by impact with motorbikes, while only 2% were killed by cars.
The RCMP then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there
was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of motorbike kills
versus car kills. The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that
when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of
danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout
"Cah", not a single one could shout "bike"
