A recent study has found over 200 dead crows near Ceduna S.A., and there was concern that they may have died from the Avian Flu virus.
A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, to everyone's relief.
However, he was also able to determine that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with large trucks, and only 2% were killed by car impact.
The State hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine the disproportionate percentages for the large truck versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviourist determined the cause in short order.
When crows eat road kill, they always set-up a look-out Crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger.
His conclusion was that the lookout crow could say "Cah", but he could not say "Truck."
Now you know!

Re: Crow road toll
Alan,
you could be right, On Australian story they played it and it was when the you product promotor was taking about "cedel" beauty products, and she didn't realise what he said...... (march 3 1975 - imt show..).
fffaaaaarrk, said is all the crow could say, as the truck hit his mates feasting on roadkill on the nullabor.
but is gets worse,
we all love dick, and dick's ozemite add has been banned for release on Australia Day, piss poor , Cause even the lady in the supermarket loves Dick....(if I was edecatted enough, I would have posted the clip on Dick.)
