Crows!!!
Are crows a protected species in Oz? Someone told me this the other day (albeit after many many beers) and I'm a little surprised? There's bloody tons of the blighters, surely they're not protected.
I also ask because hubby has taken to firing plastic pellets at the crows, minors and magpies that land in our garden for attacking our cat :eek: So ... true or not? |

Are you sure they are crows? It's more likely they are Australian ravens. There are indeed lots and lots of them. Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Raven

A neighbour told us hanging crow (raven) feathers in your garden will scare them off because they will think one died there?? Thanks for that though! |

They aren't protected but I am not sure that means you can shoot them. Gina Unprotected native species are covered by Schedule 10 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. No permits are required to take birds by shooting which are listed on Schedule 10 of the NPW Act: NB: No permits are required here in QLD, while the act is federal law each state may require differing levels of permit/permission. Unprotected birds are: Zebra Finch (Poephila guttata) Budgerygah (Melopsittacus undulatus) Red Wattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata) Grey-backed Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis halmaturina) Galah (Cacatua roseicapilla) Little Corella (Cacatua sanguinea) Australian Raven (Corvus coronoides) Little Crow (Corvus bennetti) Australian Crow (Corvus orru cecilae) Little Raven (Corvus mellori) |

The birds belong in the wild, the cat doesn't.

Re: Crows!!!
Nice... a thread about killing cats. :frown:
So I guess my idea for a thread about Dogs in a wood chipper isn't such a bad idea then |

Keep the cats in then they cannot be hurt nor hunt anything themselves. |
Re: Crows!!!
I doubt our two cats could be arsed to go outside and hunt. Too much like hard work, they much prefer to sit around and order us about.
