    Today I saw a hawk kill a pigeon. Quite a site. There are many different hawks around. This guy was telling me that this hawk will get a pigeon in his backyard 2-3 times a week.

    You know what? Corvids don't like hawks. There is a big red tailed hawk that has a nest on the path where I walk and there are crows that are always flying around him and squawking at him and stuff.

    Same thing with crows and owls. There was a HUGE owl that had 4 or 5 crows that were just plain screaming at this owl and chasing after him. I guess they think he is taking the food or something but owls eat mice. Maybe crows are dumb like that, wasting time with hawks and owls. What the fuck do crows care about a hawk that tears apart a pigeon.

    Corvids are smart but dumb too. I'm serious.

    I actually want that red tailed hawk to snap the fuckin crows neck. that's how I felt. I feel the same way when hyenas are bugging lions. Just one time I wish the lion would say FUCK YOU and tear the fuck out of some hyena. Hyenas are like crows, they have strength in numbers, but they can be assholes, kind of like pakis around here.

    Sometimes corvids get tuned. Don't think it can't happen.

    I will basically stay away from any dogs, but if they get too close and start growling at me, I will promply tell the owner to "get this fuckin cocksucker away from right now" they will usually say something like "he doesn't bite" or whatever. One time a lady asked me if I was "out on a day pass" and said that her dog only barks at guys that are "goofy". I think I can recall telling her that I would snap her dogs legs (I know how) or something like that. police were called.

    blue jay gets it
    Pigeon gets it
    Magpie gets it
    Crow gets it

    All crows must DIE !!! totally worthless birds. they have invaded my park where I walk and my backyard/neighborhood.

    I am so pissed-off I may take matters in my own hands.

    I've got some old electronic gear and could build some kind of death ray.

    However I can't have a bunch of dead crows falling around my house.. could raise a little suspicion.. eh heh...

    So I am thinking of some kind of sterilization ray or some kind of anti viagra ray. ha ha ha...

    yes, Mac a crow cock ray gun ! Ha ha haha.. would that be cool ?

    I guess that's the best way or just start raising hawks. hawks are cool !

    I was thinking of the death ray laser but way too much power needed to make a quick clean kill and leave no feathers, just some smoke.. electricity is costly enough...


    This reminds me of a certain friend of mine who told me a story when we talked about Viet Nam.. it started with " Hey LL, you're going to Viet Nam? Hey Saigon was a great place to visit back in 1958....

    i was sitting in the office of Lt. Col X-can't remember-X at the corner of XXXX and XXXX with this huge marble colonial balcony.

    We were sitting there with the windows open and he pulls-out these little bolt action pistols. Looked like an automatic but with this wire bolt action lever. it was a .22 cal modified semi automatic but full bolt action.

    He has his feet on the desk and with the windows open takes aim at one of the hundreds of pigeons. i hear this little "puff" sound and see a pigeon explode and feathers taken away by the wind. he hands me one and a box of ammo and we are drinking cognac and blasting birds in downtown Saigon, near the XXX arrondissement. i asked him where he got these cool things, never seen anything like it. "They were given to me from Mr. XXXXXXX from the XXX for XXXXXXXXXXX ." Great little gadgets they were LL, too bad I could keep it after I used it. Saigon was a great place to be back in '58..."

    It was a bit more than I wanted or needed to know about "my friend D."

    But it was something I really wished I had. Damned crows.....:D

    I would have answered, No, I am out on a NIGHT pass. Response to "he/she/it/ 'fluffy' doesn't bite" :

    No, but I DO ! so keep it away from me.
