A dead crow is a dead crow. <br /><br />Little did you know that crows too have a road safety officer (but the job doesn't rate capital letters in Crowland). Given that the crow vocabulary is - as you indicate - smaller than some humans, but by no means all, his report was much more succinct: "Stay the hell out of South Wales."<br /><br />In fact crow-car crashes are the result of unbending physics, notably that sub-division known as aerodynamics. Crows are elegant flyers, good at gliding. But an aerofoil section that supports good gliding is far less efficient during take-off and crows need time to reach what human aviators call "unstick". Their departure from a roadkill site appears always to be in the direction they are facing, and for several wing-flaps after. Thus if they are dining on the left-hand side of the road (in the UK) and are facing the right-hand side they seem compelled to take the longer, more dangerous option to get away.<br /><br />Do aviation matters interest you? It just so happens I've.... Ah, I see you don't do commercials unless the products involved are more than forty years old.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.com
