POPSA Conspiracy of Ravens Kills Fourteen Calves more: “I ran out and shooed them away and luckily was able to save the calf.” Gunnegård suspects the explosive growth in the size of the raven conspiracy is likely related to the recovery of the area’s convocation of Golden Eagles. “There are a lot more wild animal carcasses in the nearby forests,” he said. “With more food, the ravens are breeding more and having more young.” Others theorize that the recent covering up of local garbage dumps has cut off one of the ravens’ primary food supplies, forcing them to prey on vulnerable livestock.

POPS The Chicken Or the State Road? As we were coming back home yesterday from mowing grass on our farm, I was chilling out and I didn't even notice that we passed a chicken pecking in the ditch. Suddenly, under his breath my husband says: "Chicken is cleaning the ditch better than the state road" Now, I dunno why, but this remark struck me as insanely funny and I couldn't stop laughing. You probably have to live in this state to get the joke, but regardless, laughter is so good for the soul isn't it?

POPSAttack of the killer ravens: Flocks are suddenly slaughtering lambs "Research published last year in the Scientific American also showed the raven to be one of the most intelligent species on the planet - up there with dolphins and apes and, unlike most other birds and animals, capable of learning from their own actions and from observing others' behaviour. They're thought to be one of the few birds that can count, and some have even learned to fashion leaves into special tools for extracting grubs from crevices in trees. In Japan, they were reportedly found dropping nuts onto a dual-carriageway, then darting down to eat them once the cars had cracked them open. Although older ravens (they live up to 25 years) mate for life and travel in pairs, young birds may form flocks of up to several hundred - collective nouns for ravens include an "unkindness", a "conspiracy", and a "murder" - which swoop on farm animals"

POPSSchools Now Requiring Thumb-scans for Lunch Americans are being processed like cattle or merchandise through a checkout stand. Word of advice: REBEL against it. Don't do whatever "Simon Saiz". It's called in psychology "conditioning", in this case the result is food (reward). (It's like the experimental chicken pecking at the colored light until it dispenses food.) The creeping police state and waste of tax payers money. The "terrorism" and "security" merchandisers are pushing this techno-tyranny on your local governments, including schools. Now "convenience" is being used to sell all kinds of biometric passes. Americans are being "trained" (from childhood up) to passively accept all this and labeled "paranoid" if they protest, but they keep expanding it, and none of this is cheap. It's not necessary. It's a waste of taxpayers money. It's a means of control. They want to expand it. Refuse to do anything that collects information on you, particularly your own body.

POPSGiant Turkey Chases Boston Woman, Pecks Bottom Repeatedly When dispatched to the scene of a turkey, Verrier offers advice instead. He tells people not to feed them, not to be intimidated by them, and to keep their distance. Still, some people cannot help themselves. They need to be near the turkeys. Distance-shmistance, we want to be near the turkeys. I, for one, am against the city of Boston trying to regulate mutually consensual human-turkey behavior. A light ass-pecking never hurt anyone, am I right? Even though this incident happened right near my apartment, I have not been lucky enough to experience any super-sized turkeys on my errands, sadly. Look at the size of that sucker...he's gotta be like 12 feet tall! :)

POPSNo More Weddings for the Pigeons Poor Pigeons. Poor Venice. This city has more problems than pigeons to preserve it's beauty ... like not sinking into the water. I think every major city on the globe has the same problems with birds on buildings and monuments. Good luck to Venice tackling the problem with pigeons and the animal rights activists at the same time.

POPSFish Know Who's Boss "We really don't give them enough credit," said Grosenick of fish and other animals. "They have to live in the same world we do," and have probably adapted to it with some intellectual abilities not unlike our own - albeit more limited.
