Subject: Re: [KENYABIRDSNET] those House Crows

Amazing discussion. Every resource is gauged by its contribution to
nature. The most valuable resource is one that occurs where it is
naturally original. Nature has the ability to control what it bears
when it is where mother nature gave birth to it. There would be
conditions in Asia to control House Crow populations but being an
alien species in east africa, nature seems to be lacking mechanism to
bring down population size. In other words....MAN IS PAYING BACK TO
NATURE CONSEQUENCES OF HAVING INTRODUCED THE SPECIES IN A HABITAT THAT
WAS NOT ORIGINALLY ITS. Truth be told, House Crows have more negative
consequences to nature in east africa than their original homeland.
