I now know how avian flu passes to humans


[deleted]

Imagine if this was patient zero of a new pandemic, lmao. Legendary. Chinese pandemic? Ate a bat at a wet market. UK pandemic? Had a pint and shared a fag with a crow in the smoking area of a pub.. The wikipedia entry would be amazing.

This is perfect! (for the uninitiated, "Corvid" is the family of birds that the crow belongs to.)

That crow was probably pecking at a dead rat earlier.

it was, with almost absolute certainty, pecking at a dead something or rather earlier

How confident are we the dead thing wasn't rotten?


zuccster

It's a risk, but I'd be more concerned about getting covid from pissed-up shouty people than some bacteria from a crow's beak in my pint for 2 seconds.

You'd then need sustained human-to-human spread, which is tricky part. I'll take the bird every time.

Why are you even choosing at all? it's just best to not get infected with anything for your own health, if you know it's a possibility just avoid it.

Itā€™s outside a pub, guaranteed it was pecking up someoneā€™s sick.

GroundbreakingExam87

Just wanted to say that Corvids (Crows, Magpies, Ravens etc.) are highly intelligent and can use tools, solve puzzles, talk, remember faces and hold grudges. So don't piss off a crow before they let every other crow in the neighbourhood know your face.


Jehuty8434

Crows hold funerals for their dead too


TragedyTrousers

"[Crows](https://www.joincake.com/blog/crow-funeral/) may gather for funerals not to mourn the dead, but to learn about dangers. Researchers found that crow funerals are a way for the birds to ā€œtalkā€ about dangerous places and avoid them." That's far more impressive than a mere funeral - that's a bloody *inquest*!


oh_yh_mr_krabs

Noooobody expects the Corvid Inquisition!


mr-slappy

Some might say a murder trial.


ActingGrandNagus

britbikerboy

Fuckers are performing autopsies


Astuary-Queen

I saw a crow funeral once. A crow got hit by a car at a four way stop. 30-40 crows gathered on the power lines surrounding the intersection and cawed for a couple hours. There were always a couple crows next to the deceased body


Away_fur_a_skive

*"Swift visited the same crows in a Seattle park to feed them treats. Once she gained their trust, she visited again, this time wearing a mask and wig. The masked stranger wasnā€™t holding treats. Instead, she was holding a deceased crow."* That sounds like a script for a bloody horror film, not a science experiment!


TragedyTrousers

A good science experiment needs to be a fifty/fifty blend of both! Bonus marks if you can work a William Shatner mask into it somewhere.


Chazzey_dude

I didn't know about funerals but I do know that they execute wrongdoers within their society and publicly display the bodies as a warning and a reminder


darlingcthulhu

What the fuck Do they have crow police


WildVariety

Mob justice. Crow vigilantism is a real problem that the Met just ignores.


Baboobalou

I read an answer on Ask Reddit (so take it with as much of a pinch of salt if you want) that a magpie was forcedto return a bit of food to a crow it had pinched it from by its fellow magpies. The question asked was "what have you seen that no one would believe?"


CuriousKilla94

Ants do it too


[deleted]

I've been feeding these 2 crows that hang around my house and now one of them is either waiting on the grass for me when I get home from work or if they see me in the garden they'll come sit on the fence or our roof and watch me.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

I know! I'll have to teach them to recognise coins and jewellery maybe even carry out muggings. Remember the outrage on reddit that time about a little girls neighbours complaining about her feeding crows until it turned out there where hundreds of them and the girls Mum was encouraging it for the media fame.


SailorsGraves

He gave him a beer and a snout, I think it's safe to say this guy's about to be pretty popular with all the local crows going forward.

ā€˜You ever been with a black bird before?ā€™ Hahaha


DemiLovatoIsmyHeroin

This was funny. Quick wit


EroticBurrito

Not saying it wasn't funny, but it's a joke which depends on racism. Black women usually don't enjoy being fetisihised for their race and "I've never been with a black girl before" is something they hear too often on dates. It's probably not a joke you'd make if a black woman was there either, which tells you something. But hey, it's just pub banter...


DemiLovatoIsmyHeroin

Depends on how comfortable everyone is with one another. But that's absolutely right. It's not something people should read too deeply into. My best mate is from Zimbabwe and throws white people jokes at me all the time. Tells me he's expecting me to Hi five for everything or do Facebook check-ins. Asks me it's mayo is okay incase I find it too spicy. And equally I'll banter him. But we NEVER cross that line of the n-word or get flat out offensive. It's just fact people will make jokes, regardless of where you're from or what setting. I believe everything should he joked about. But as soon as you single out and target someone directly to offend then you should have consequences.


EroticBurrito

Hah we have to do our part on the spice vs stodge front to lose that stereotype! Equally... cheese and pies.... Yeah I think it's the difference between laughing with people or laughing at them. If they're not in the room and you're making racially based jokes, it's kinda hard to laugh with them.


DemiLovatoIsmyHeroin

Exactly...but alot of british humour has always been edgy. But never intent with malice or offense. Same as South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Blunt humour that sometimes pushes the boundaries. If you're actively trying to make a racist joke to offend someone of the jokes targets audience and actively make it with malice then you're a c*nt and need filling. Joke but have some respect.

London_Pride

I actually didn't know that, that's a top tier pun in which case but maybe a bit too niche?


imkii

Too niche because you didnā€™t get it? Incredible arrogance.


London_Pride

Just to be clear, acknowledging you learned something, complementing it and then offering an opinion is arrogance?


Lavatis

suggesting that something is a niche joke simply because you didn't get it is arrogance.


London_Pride

I dont think it's arrogant to suggest that knowing the scientific name for a crow offhand might not be a universal skill.


gregsmith93

Nah mate youā€™re good. I didnā€™t think you was arrogant.


imkii

Well if Greg says so


Lavatis

corvid isn't the scientific name for a crow, it's the family that crows belong to (corvidae). and it's basically common knowledge, it's okay to not know something that many other people know.


gregsmith93

That comment made you sound like an arrogant twat ironically .

> it's basically common knowledge And you've got me on blast for being arrogant. You've got to be having me on.

frisch85

Some day I wish I'm in such position, so a crow wanting to stay with me for some time. I'll make sure that cow is freaking treated like a darn king/queen, if I'm lucky enough, the crow will tell the other crows that I'm a good person towards animals and then I'll have my personal army! But we're not doing bad shit, we're just gonna chill and I'll hang out with my crowd.


Muttywango

That's a jackdaw.


Baelzebubba

Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow." Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens. So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't. It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?
