Two days ago we were all awakened by a loud cry just outside our bedroom window. First thought was a crow. As it escalated my mind was racing for answers.
Next I heard a loud thud and the screeching/crying turned more frantic and sounded violent. I thought maybe 2 cats fighting or an animal caught in a trap.
I got up and my step daughter yelled from her room "Put It Out Of It's Misery, What the h@ll is it?"
I quietly (and cautiously, yeah I'm a coward) went outside and discovered it was a large crow trying to eat my 6' long black fake snake. The thud was when it fell from my grape arbor where it keeps all other birds away. I guess once on the deck he thought he'd attack and wrestle the snake to death but turned out it tasted like crap.
Pissed off he flew away. Immediately I thought somewhere there are crows laughing their buts off talking about how their friend (a few kernals short of a whole ear of corn) tried to claim "dibs" on a piece of rubber.
