Sri Lanka must have the largest crow population in the world. In many countries they are regarded as pests. In Singapore we used to have the same problem but the crow population is kept under control by culling (shooting) them. Cruel maybe but it's the only way.
In Sri Lanka I couldn't spot smaller birds like the house sparrow. Not surprising since the crows have muscled them out. Even at the airport I saw crows roaming the skies. I don't understand why the airport authorities don't see them as a potential danger to aircraft. Crows also compete with dogs for food scraps.
And when I walked under trees I was nearly bombed by their shit.
Surprisingly, Sri Lankan remain unflappable.
Three guys from Slovenia told me in their country crows can be taught to talk like parrots!
I hope Sri Lanka will do something to curb the crow population. It would be nice to see other bird species as well.

Ok, thanks William. I'll see how it works out. The crown is one of your favourite birds? You mean the crow, don't you?
ReplyDeleteHahhaha! The crown! haha! Sorry, man, my english is having a bad day. About the post of "Ratos e Homens", yes. This means "Of Mice and Men": one of my favorite books ever.

In Malaysia, officers from local council used shotgun to kill these crows. It's a crazy way to control the crow population.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, dead crow landed bull eye on the car's windscreen giving a big shock to the motorist!
Terima kasih Loke. That's pretty funny. We cull them the same way, and now the crow population is very much reduced otherwise the smaller birds will be bullied by them.
