Are we talking about the same birds?

Here they are much smaller than the crows. - Or we have larger crows?

Same. According to the article, ours is the largest of the sub-species, but I can't see them grabbing a chick or duckling, much less a kitten.

Maybe our (very large crows and ravens) have been colouring their feathers? Or they turned blue from the cold?

Happy Monday to Everybody!​

Busy day here, job-wise, weather-wise, crow-wise and duck-wise:

• New challenging project, doing my best to prevent scope-creep. Can't remember how many times i used the word »sow« last week…
• Weather is lousy here, one shower chases the other, can't do anything outside. But it is good for plant growth.
• The crows here are becoming cocky here: Yesterday they destroyed four eggs, today at least two (only looked on the camera) inside the duck-house. Somehow i need to put in a scare-crow into the house…
• Momma Mallard seems to have lost one of her ducklings, this morning she showed up with just two in tow. During yesterday's bad weather (rain-storms) i heart some duck-commotion in the pasture, i assume something bad has happened.
• I killed an opossum yesterday night! - It went into the duck-house right before i wanted to lock up the ducks and attacked Pompom and Tweedledee duck who always go to bed early. I heart them screaming, grabbed the shovel and got into a fight. At first i thought i was fighting a raccoon, it was a very large and very aggressive male opossum. - Fortunately Pompom and Tweedledee are both uninjured and okay.

The crows here are definitely larger, but the Bluejays are wayyy LOUDER! - No cloaked crows!

I guess that was an over statement they are pretty good size bird though.

You scared me! - Crow sized Bluejays! What's next? A chicken sized Cardinal? An Emu sized Blanca Duck? - She would immediately start to eat the whole neighborhood…

I grabbed the first thing i could get my hands on when i heart my ducks screaming. Bigmouth-rat was lucky that it was a shovel and not a broom. The raccoon four years ago was not so lucky…
If something attacks my ducks i black out. I would have killed that garbage-bag with my bare hands, would even have bitten its neck.
