There's a crow that drops nuts on the road on my way home from work. I always try to hit them for him so he can get the nuts out. :)

- steveylang 4y agoLOL, I first read that as you would always try to hit the crow. Guess I'm not as smart as one...
- bitxbitxbitcoin 4y agoWhat color is your car? Would be cool to see if the crow also drops nuts for similar colored cars at a frequency higher than chance. Or just yours. Or if that crow has other favorite cars besides yours that he/she knows are considerate enough to sub in as a nutcracker... maybe their colors throw that whole thing for a loop.
- jeffrallen 4y agoI live in Switzerland: all the cars are drab, including mine.
- tabtab 4y agoYou just encourage dependency on and hanging out near humans.
- behringer 4y agoDon't anger the crows. They can quite literally run you from your yard.
- tanseydavid 4y agoCrows are very resourceful. And opportunistic.
- pfdietz 4y agoI'm thinking of planting more nut bearing plants in my yard. Possibly for myself, but mostly for wildlife. Corylus americana (American Hazelnut) is native and easy to grow, I understand.
- doobiedowner 4y agoavoid black walnut. not as terrible as salting the earth, but not great.
- pfdietz 4y agoToo late, we already have some of those. They were there when we bought the house. C. americana is resistant to juglone, btw.
- pencilguin 4y agoI only just found out black cherries are native to North America.
- pfdietz 4y agoA Prunus species, also resistant to black walnut. List from a local nursery on resistant plants: https://www.plantsmen.com/_files/ugd/e44642_67a1c38658fe4e9e83c16b0dda2dbaa5.pdf https://www.plantsmen.com/_files/ugd/e44642_67a1c38658fe4e9e...
