    I think they're prolly rooks and not crows.

    I'm bored too as well.

    Rooks are corvids, members of the crow family.
    Are they getting together for a Christmas Eve crow service?

    Lots of them here, too; here's a suggestion about how they could be made useful.......

    I think I'll stick to turkey, on balance. Happy Christmas to all and the crows / rooks / ravens and even the turkeys.

    My father told us he used to climb trees on the way to school and suck the contents of rooks eggs to top up his breakfast. The really gross bit is that he used to say that quite often he felt a young rook go down his throat. Argh!!!
