Crows like walnuts...

Last winter I started putting nuts out for the squirrels. I love watching them, I'm happy to help feed them, but the main reason was I was hoping it'd be entertainment for my cat. Unfortunately she was too blind, too deaf, or too both to spot them outside the window, but I kept on feeding them anyway.

Ellie New Cat loves sleeping in the window, watching things beyond the glass, so I started putting nuts out again. They were vanishing awfully fast, and without the clatter that the squirrels usually make. And today I spotted why: The crows are carrying them off!

Plus side: Crows seem to be even better cat entertainment than squirrels.

I had no idea that crows ate nuts. Meat, yep, but nuts? Though hmm, right now I'm using walnut meat (I bought it for myself, then didn't want it). I suppose when I go back to using nuts in shells, they might be less interested.

Edit: This amuses me so. :D



Rick Perry's commercial: "You know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military..."

I can't put into words how much that commercial scares me.
