Why do crows only eat dead corpses of other animals ..

I guess this is an interesting factor whilst all birds are vegetarians.

[Roo]

All birds aren't vegetarians. Birds of prey? They don't prey on vegetables.

I keep a fridge in my office..

Very fascinating episode available online...

That's why they have really good eyesight. It's hard as hell to see a potato from 1000 feet.

Many (I'm very tempted to say most - insects are not vegetables) birds are carnivores or omnivores. Even common chickens.

A Murder of Crows ~ Introduction

"Crows live everywhere in the world except Antarctica and are a part of myths and legends in many cultures. Their reputation in the stories varies from comical to frightening, godlike or wise, bringers of light and bringers of death, though a “murder” of crows refers to a flock of crows, and not to anything murderous, at all. They may be all these things, but what we are learning is that they are especially smart.

New research has shown that they are among the most intelligent animals on the planet. They use tools as only elephants and chimpanzees do, and recognize 250 distinct calls. One particular talent they have been discovered to possess is the ability to recognize individual human faces and pick them out of a crowd up to two years later – a trick that might make even Hitchcock shiver with fright.

They thrive wherever people live and have used their great intelligence to adapt again and again to a constantly changing world. Some memorize garbage truck routes, and follow the feast from day to day. Others drop nuts in the road and wait for passing cars to crack them open. And some build their nests from items we throw away – like wire clothes hangers.

These are social birds that mate for life and raise their young for up to five years. And they learn from each other’s misfortunes. When one is killed in a farmer’s field, it’s not uncommon for them to change entire migratory patterns so that no crows fly over that field for as long as two years.

These birds might have a scary reputation, but what may prove to be the scariest thing about them is how much they know about us, and how little we know about them!"

In fact I am having a hard time even thinking of a pure "vegetarian" bird. Hummingbird is about the best I can do.

They can be vegetarians, but my understanding is that they are most certainly omnivorous. If you go buy a parakeet, you don't feed it worms or crickets. They can and do eat seeds. As for what they eat in the wild, that is for PP or Wikipedia to answer.

Edit: This is a silly conversation, it depends on the facking bird.

I liked the part where the crows remembered the garbage truck routes
and schedules and had the first pickings every time, which surely pissed
off a lot of garbage collectors.

/highjacking ... really ... maybe!!

Getting back to my original topic, I have found it is best to refrigerate my birds daily, especially as they are penguins.

[EricHill78]

Oh another thing, save your Gotland tins for
your daily portions, it's like a snus tupperwear has a great seal.

Crows are cool. I've wanted one as a pet bad. I was eying up some crow roosts to raid a nest, but they're in the tippy tops of tall pines, and I'd probably kill myself in the attempt.

On topic; I like all my snus chilled, and when it's practical, I carry it in a cooler with me.

these are some the birds I currently have in the freezer. show us your stash.

[lxskllr]

I've got a Butterball in the freezer downstairs. Does that count? :^D

It probably isn't edible anymore. I got it free a bunch of years ago, and never fixed it. I'm not a big turkey fan.
