Also, non Americans wouldn’t think of farmers shooting crows right away
There are guns elsewhere, but used more sparingly

But you’re British, aren’t you?

Just noticed this comment now. It must of went up at the same time as my reply to Rowens.

Yes I'm British. This was based on a true story about someone I used to work with who came in one day and told everyone that he'd shot the crow who'd been stealing his eggs. Yeah, farmers in Britain will shoot anything that's not protected or if they can get away with it they'll just shoot anything.

The same guy also told a story of how he marks on the calendar when he hears the first cuckoo.
