My Mum tells me that she saw a Crow catching a Swallow last week. Apparently the Swallow was swooping around near the Crow and the Crow just turned around and SNAP, caught the Swallow in its beak! The crow then flew off still holding onto the Swallow. Is this usual behaviour? Has anyone heard of this before? Thanks
Jenny

Jenny,

When your Mum saw the swallow-catching Crow catch the Swallow in shallow flight did her vantage point not allow her to see the Crow then swallow all of the Swallow?

Regards,

Freddy

:lol:
Very clever!

No, the crow flew off with the swallow. I have racked my brains to try to come up with a similar play on words to respond, but sadly I failed!
