Stone The Crows!​

The NSW Police have found a large number of dead crows on Freemans Drive just outside
Cooranbong early this morning, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.
A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief,
confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu.
The cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts. However, during analysis it
was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws.
By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed
by impact with motorbikes, while only 2% were killed by cars.
The investigators then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there
was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of motorbike kills versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill,
they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger.
They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah",
not a single one could shout "bike"...

That was experienced on the freeway near Callington about 6 years ago. However a disproportionate number of crows were being killed by semis. Sounds very similar
