Came across this video this morning.
Not very subtle at it but the Crows were providing a good service.

That's fascinating and confirms the intelligence of corvids.

The size of those ticks though..WTF, only in Oz!!

When my dogs get one it will usually drop off at about the size of a small baked bean (provided I don't remove it first)

Thanks! Its going to be a while before I can forget that image of the tumbling tick when having my beans on toast.
