I wouldn't have believed it,,

Post by Die Judicii » 28 Aug 2018, 6:02 pm

Driving home this afternoon, I had a crow flying about 20 meters directly ahead of me, and it just kept going straight ahead for approx 500 meters.
Then it veered off and landed in a tree.

I'm guessing it ran out of puff after the 500 meters.

Invitations are open to see who can guess what speed it was flying at,,,, cos it kept the same distance in front of me for the 500 meters.

:unknown: :unknown: :unknown:

I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.

Cruising speed of around 50-60 mph and have been clocked in a dive at around 70 mph :allegedly: :thumbsup: :drinks:

And that's still not fast enough to avoid ending up on BigPetes plate!! :lol: :drinks:
