Just got back home from drop-in hockey. Drove along Canada Way, and right before the Willingdon Ave intersection, going westbound, at around 1:25am,
I see like two blocks of crow. like A TON of them, just sitting around on the grass and sidewalk, even on the right lane into the traffic. Like wtf? There had to be at least like 300 crows there. Crow meet up?? There were so many, I would be scared to walk through that. Remind me of Gears of War or something...
Is this weird behaviour for birds or what? I was driving, so I was unable to take pics. But with my camera phone, it would of just been all black anyway.
Did anyone else drive by that area?

Only 300? There has been studies on this there are thousands that gather around there every day.. they fly in from all over the lower mainland and cover the rooftops and power lines for blocks on end. They don't know what causes them to gather but they always fly in around the same time. If you are around there and look up you will see a steady stream of Crow's flying in from all directions.... its fucking creepy.
Berz out.

Okay, well this is the first time I've actually seen them on the round up so massively on the ground, including in my way when I'm trying to drive. so yeah, this was quite a shock to me.
I mean I've seen maybe 100 or so, but not like 300 +.
this whole time i thought you meant COWS. fuck.
that would've been funnier

This has been going on for a while now. I'm sure it's more than 300.
Everything's like covered around 4-7ish around there.
Grass, rooftops, power lines, sidewalks. Scary stuff. =S
Someone needs to eliminate them all.

Ohh there are definitely more than 300 of them. They usually fly towards BCIT around 5-6PM. That area will just be covered with crows. Where do they all fuck off to after? Because they gather up there and just go somewhere else afterwards lol.

Its like they are part of some type of RS Crow Meet
Some of the buildings are trying different measures to keep them off. Some have owl statues on their rooftops. Last year or so the crows have seemed to become less and less. I use to light fire crackers and see them all fly away. One big giant black cloud.

Sounds like the Hitchcock movie "The Birds." BTW if you haven't seen this movie it's pretty good even if it is 45 years old.

Most of them end up along Still Creek like Los Bastardo mentioned. The Still Creek area use to be all low lands/swamp area where the crows use to live in the trees.
But we came along and changed the area into bussiness industrial.

you know what prime time for crows to hang out is?
about 5 in the morning....

its at the crack of daylight..
they kinda just hang around the roads and all the telephone wires and shit..
its really eerie ...
i would drive home.. and they would just cover the streets.. and wouldnt move at one point.. lol..

I remember walking outside. Two separate times a crow swooped down close to me like it was going to attack me. So scary.

I worked at the Alcatel building across from eBay. People wouldn't park near trees or lamp posts for that exact reason.

crows are so ugly, and they are very annoying in the morning.
My lawn is messsed up cause of them...
I wish we can just shoot them all down and only leave a small portion of the population..

Last summer, there was like 3-4 crows swooping down and attacking anyone walking on our block :gun:

When I worked at eBay which is just a couple blocks from Canada Way and Willington at about 2something in the afternoon they would start to gather and some people even feared walking outside and going to their cars because the amount of crows were just INSANE. Some people would bring unbrellas to work so they wouldn't get shitted on. Outside on the pavement there would be tons of bird shiet everyday which lead to power washer dudes coming multiple times a week to clean it. However by days end it will be fucked again. Sometimes when people walk out to go home my friend would clap his hands and they would all get scared and fly away and you see the person walking sometimes running for their life haha

i use to work at yellow pages on willingdon i would walk every day and find at least two dead crows every time, and most of the time they would be picked at by there own brothers and sisters... they use to fight with the seagles, pretty cool once i saw a hawk trying to pick at them in the sky, theres thousands of those crows down there, so we would have to get window cleaners every two days to clean the crap off the windows D:
