Did you know that Owls and Crows have an ancient feud that spans generations? It is true! Owls Vs crows is a fight that seems impossible because these two animals are not even active at the same time. Owls are nocturnal, while crows are diurnal and awake during the day. However, these two birds have a feud that seems built into their very DNA. Why do crows and owls attack each other, and who usually wins the fight?
What makes these two birds go after each other, even when they would rarely come into contact?
Why Owls attack crows?
Owls prey on the nests of crows in search of an easy meal, but most owls do not seek out hatchlings to prey upon. The horned Owl, barred owl, and other larger owl species are most likely to attack crows nests. Owls are solitary except for their mates, and during mating season they are very territorial. Not every owl species will mate for life but are monogamous throughout mating season.
Why Crows attack owls?
Though seeing a crow on its own is fairly common, with one call a single crow can summon the entirety of its flock. Crows are also highly intelligent, and each generation passes on knowledge. Crows have a long memory, and their high intelligence and ability to communicate with each other give them long memories. A crow can retain information and understands cause and effect. Crows live and travel in large groups, and each crow carries information from generation to generation. Even without ever seeing an owl, a murderer of crows knows instantly that owls are serious enemies! Crows attack owls on sight, knowing them as a serious threat that needs to be eliminated!
The Gang war
These two have engaged in this generational war for so long because they are evenly matched! Owls are physically more powerful and motivated by hunger. One on one, the average owl easily wins the fight and extra helpings of dinner or territory. But in nature, crows rarely travel or hunt alone.
A murder of crows is more than a match for one solitary owl. The crow’s long memory, high intelligence, and mob mentality make crows the clear winner in a fight that has continued for countless generations. An owl may win a battle, but crows often win the war by chasing off the larger bird.

We're not gonna vote ourselves to a revolution, of course, but ain't nothing wrong with checking the dipstick on these elections to get an idea of what political outcomes might be on the table for the next couple years.
Also Karl Rove desperately blubbering and quavering about the Georgia senate race is hysterical.
We’re not gonna vote ourselves to a revolution, of course,
Found the lib. For every race and ballot measure I drew my own circle and voted for communism. Why didn't you do your part?
At the end of the day half of us ended up here because we’re politics nerds and we like to watch the horse race. I just can’t help myself
Wow, some shocking results from the midterms- large majorities of working class voters all over the country have voted to dissolve the government and form what they call a "Workers' State." The workers are forming local Councils that will federate and assume all government functions, and they have overwhelmingly voted in what they call a "Vanguard Party of the Proletarian Revolution" that is expected to lead the new government. No one was expecting this outcome!

:soviet-huff: howd i get on the nerd call already this is my first day im new! not a proven nerd!
So aight. I've brought this up in recent comments that are most definitely buried by now, but uh....how do you know if polyamory is right for you? Kinda going through a tough spot rn due to feelings I'm, well, feeling. I have no fucking idea where else to talk about this, and there is exactly 1 person IRL that I know that I can talk to about it, but they're kind of a new friend so I'm still like 'ehhhhh idk if i wanna get into this with you right now.'
I can elaborate as much or as little as needed if that is helpful. I dunno.
I'm excited to find out all the cool reasons progress can't happen. What will the parliamentarian do this time?
Miami-Dade becoming a deep red county, but also becoming irrelevant as dark Brandon rises again to lift the cuba embargo would be funnier :biden-harbinger:
My Graphics card is working again, Juche Necromancy stays winning :07:
I am requesting a bonk, with immediate effect. Went on a date with a CIA agent who was cute, but vapid. And also a CIA agent. There is absolutely zero future there. But she was cute... bonk me please.
I think this is the first US election where I haven't really cared about the outcome at all. Going to choose that it's because I'm a real commie now and not just :doomer:
Yeah I just don't give a shit. It will be less bad if hte Democrats win but, like... That just means we live under teh sword of damocles for another two years while the Fascists go absolutely fucking berserk whining about stolen elections.
@forcequit @Dirt_Owl @President_Obama UPDATE: Hamster adoption confirmed for this Sunday! :possum-party:. I will not be posting any pics just yet to avoid doxxing myself too bad but I will post more pics of him when I get him!

So, my gf told me to drop off our mail in ballots. I said I would..
I fucking forgot. They’re in my work bag and I’m sitting here eating chocolate cake and ice cream. :i-voted: I just didn’t care enough to remember I guess. Lmao. Fuck.
is she going to be pissed, and were there any local things that seemed important?
Yeah she’s gonna be mad. I’ll just drop the. Off tomorrow..
:agony-deep:
I think that emote properly communicates the emotion lol
:sweat: Friendly reminder that Dirt_Owls are not great horned owls and I would never assault the nest of my dear friend @knifestealingcrow or any other crows for that matter.
