Ah man crows!? I really have have a fondness for crows. I just like their voice. They are similar to vultures in that they to scavenge a lot. Is the avian flu mutating so much that no species is impervious to this diseases not even the tough old crow!? This bird flu truly hurts us all for each animal in this world plays a vital role on our lives. We are in that chain and part of the animal kingdom ourselves. When other animals are sick or hurt is a great loss and challenge for everyone in that chain.

From a layperson's view so far I am thinking the possum is the most impervious to diseases .. I would think that vultures and animals like crows that that  typically have the ability to eat a lot of meat off of dead animals would be more hardy and not pick up diseases but evidently even birds like crows are getting bird flu. Then again animals like crows and vultures are likely to carry diseases because they pick the bone off of carcasses and those carcasses may have been victims of bird flu so it makes sense animals that consume dead animals might get sick.

It's hard to objective about all these animals getting sick. I just wrote a children's wake up in the morning song with my electric guitar featuring crow sounds in it

It just really hits home and triggers your feelings deep down when something you've heard out your window all your life like the crow gets sick.
