"You alright, Love?

I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright...."

Ooooh, so that's how those from Yorkshire sound.... got it.

At least he wasn't cursing .

Crows live everywhere in the world except Antarctica.

New research has shown that they are among the most intelligent animals on the planet. They use tools as only elephants and chimpanzees do, and recognize 250 distinct calls. One particular talent they have been discovered to possess is the ability to recognize individual human faces and pick them out of a crowd up to two years later – a trick that might make even Hitchcock shiver with fright.

They thrive wherever people live and have used their great intelligence to adapt again and again to a constantly changing world. Some memorize garbage truck routes, and follow the feast from day to day. Others drop nuts in the road and wait for passing cars to crack them open. And some build their nests from items we throw away – like wire clothes hangers.

These are social birds that mate for life and raise their young for up to five years. And they learn from each other’s misfortunes. When one is killed in a farmer’s field, it’s not uncommon for them to change entire migratory patterns so that no crows fly over that field for as long as two years.

That's brilliant Omah, thanks for that. While running and walking out in the country I come across loads of Crows, and you seem to sense a higher level of intelligence.

Last year I was in the garden when something hit me on the head. It was half of a toy skateboard, perhaps from a keyring or something. I looked up and there was a crow sitting on the edge of the roof. He was looking down at me and then laughed 'Ha ha ha'. I'm sure he did it on purpose.
