[edit] Too orangey for crows?
IS there any authority for this claim? It's the sort of interesting trivia that I enjoy, but I've not been able to find any mention of crows being "intolerant of citrus fruit" anywhere but on this page.
I've removed it. The article cited, (text available at http://www.airies.or.jp/publication/ger/pdf/07-02-11.pdf ) does not mention the words "citrus", "orange" or "intolerant". I did find a mention at http://www.tvscoop.tv/2007/11/nostalgia_corne_30.html and a QI forum page, but they probably got it from this article. If anyone has a proper citation, please add it back. 84.203.39.16 (talk) 10:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
192.102.214.6, you reverted my edit that removed the unsubstantiated claim about crows being intolerant to citrus. Please tell me exactly where in the cite it says that crows are intolerant to citrus. You can see the actual text of the cited article at http://www.airies.or.jp/publication/ger/pdf/07-02-11.pdf. Alternatively, cite a work that _does_ support the claim. I'm removing the text again in the meantime, as this factoid is spreading. 84.203.37.27 (talk) 16:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
