“Murder”: The term used for a flock of crows; also, what Deb Sarrano of Lansing would like to do to that flock.
Sarrano wrote: “I live near Jolly and Cedar, where there are crows everywhere all night in the trees.
“They crap yellow chunks all over the cars — so much that the windshield is covered in the morning. The daily car wash bill is getting old and I can’t find any details on line.”
I looked into this phenomenon a few years go, and learned that this is the time of year crows congregate. A bird expert I spoke to called the gatherings “large overnight roosting groups.”
The locations are chosen for their ability to provide shelter, and their proximity to food sources.
And, no, Deb, the Animal Control folks won’t come out and chase them away.
