Well, the crows probably don't see it as stealing, but they've recently
taken to flying off with the pebbles I've used to mulch around pot plants.
Does anyone know why they do this?
They've been doing it daily for the last two weeks. I run out there whenever
I see them, but they don't take me very seriously, they're normally back in
the afternoon.
Sometimes the pebbles they take are surprisingly large, but most of the time
they're around 3-4cm in diameter.
I thought that they might be curious about them because of their egg-like
shape, but you'd think they'd get over it when they got no food from them.

Theyre showing of for their darlings, bringing treasures home to show
how "clever" they are and how much they care. Diamonds for poor female
crows.

Heh, that's kinda cute. Cynthia is providing crowy love tokens.

Well crows have feelings too. Theyre known to be about as smart as dogs.
Theyre all thieves. But their "women" appreciate this daring approach to
survival.

Heh, that makes 'em as smart as... um, Britney and Kate Moss. Okay, not
hard, but they tend to get the hots for the bad boy crim types of their
species, too. Rock on, crows!
