- Go to Jag, My Doggie…Part XXV (Doggies, Cats and Ravens, ctd.)
I must be kin to the ravens. When I have reason to be at Son's house when he is not there, I always go through his pantry to see what kind of new snack things he has and try out the ones that look interesting.

Very interesting, Nautikos, and I learned another new word. I'm looking forward to discovering how the victims reckon with the thieves....maybe they have a better way than humans?

I know it's not Thanksgiving for you in Canada
but I still hope this day is full of love and good food for you, Jag and all your four legged family.

Naut,
I'm guessing that the first bird will drive off the second before hiding his peanut.
Of course what is really interesting is that apparently crows also suffer from peanut envy.

Re: How do you differentiate between Ravens and Crows?
The color of the beak is not as significant as the length of the beak.

Perhaps it's time to dust off my story about crows being used
by DHS as surveillance operatives and post it here. Can't wait for the next installment on the raven's intelligence. Seems to me people have trouble with that kind of thinking.

Nautikos
Your birds are street smart .. they'll soon be flogging their loot at the thieves' market.

How do you differentiate between Ravens and Crows?
I have seen several extremely large looking crows this winter, or perhaps they were ravens. These birds have beaks as black as the depths of an abandoned coal mine at midnight, as do crows. Don't ravens have ivory-colored beaks? I thought they do, but I once was wrong about something, but have forgotten what that was about. Oh! Now I recall! I thought that I had made a mistake, but I was wrong in that assumption.

Creatures of all varieties are most interesting! I am presuming we know this because we observe their behavior in study after study! And, it sounds like something America would fund for they have a reputation for funding crazy studies! Shelly
