yes even here the Indian house crow terrorize the Kites and buzzards. they are introduced here that proved to have no enemy, and with people throwing food (gurrrr) they are growing very large and became a real pest.

there is a 20 year program to eliminate them, but it only manage to control there numbers.

nice shots.
