Any Home Bakers Here?

We have a member on the Aussie thread that was being driven insane by their cawing constantly just outside her window. (A bunch of them made it their home nesting tree) So encourage them but careful how closely lol

Over here I've never seen a crow chasing a hawk but I will often notice one above us because of the pee wees giving it a hard time and moving it on. Now that's a brave bird when you consider their size!

I'm going to take a wild guess here and assume you don't call them pee wees because they are huge. Right?

It's because of what they say, not how they look. They are quite big, but not as huge as the crows(ravens). http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Grallina-cyanoleuca

I'd thought I was in the Australia thread, not the baking thread and now I've realised I've got "sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye, four and twenty blackbirds, baked in a pie" singing in my head. sigh.

lol nope, about half to 3/4 the size of a magpie.

Loved that movie but the kids never liked it for some reason.

We have crows AND ravens. They are great to have around...make friends with them. They will keep the predator owls and hawks away from your chickens...BUT...if you have little chicks running around, BEWARE! They will pick off your chicks to feed their young'uns.

So it is with nature!

I have never had a crow take a chick but had a hawk take one less than 10 feet away from me. It happened so fast it was a blur. The crows are very wary and won't get too close to people There are certain places I leave treats for them and they make the rounds to see where I left them.

I realize this is the baking thread but it is BYC. It is funny to watch the crows come every morning and try to take a bath in the old shallow bird bath. The new one holds 3 times the water. I filled it today and put it next to the other one. It will be interesting watching them.

Oh crap! Just remembered I put my breadmaker on dough about 12 hrs ago. Not sure I'm game to look!
