| I think of the movie Jurassic Park, every time I see one of those type of birds. If that thing was a few hundred pounds bigger, it would try to eat you boats. lol. I didn't know they had digital cameras 25 years ago. |

| Ahoy thanks for all of your replies I posted roscoe because it something different, Bill Roscoe eats anything they do perfere carrion although nicknmaed carrion crows. Ropscoe eats Chicked and beef scraps After getting free samples from Kroger grocery store I let the meat fermint for a week and I give it to him to eat sometimes I give him dead fish at the metro pond where i take out my sailboat models for a sail. They are very intelligent birds He dont make any noise nothing at all just a bunch of grunts and groans. I keep him in our springhouse in the back of my house Terry took these pictures I had them redone to a high fedility at computor max took the negatives and had them copied. Paul LOlllllllll if he was a few hundred pounds bigger he most certainly would eat the hand that fed him. Boats |

| Did Roscoe ever go after any of your model airplanes Boats? A guy from the Dakotas, over on the Guillows forum, said he had his rubber free flight model shredded by a hawk or something when he flew it. lol...Thanksgiving would come early if that happened to one of my planes. |

| Ahoy Paul LOLlllllllllll Naaaaaa he,s never torn up any of my collections I have hundreds of them in the spring house. sometimes when I take out my Great planes J3 Cub with its 7 foot span he willk look at it with his head cocked left and right trying to figure out if its a fellow bird. But he has never tried attacking any of my models. Hawks and crows and RC planes dont get along. If flying near a Hawk they think its some kind of threat mostly terrotory they will down your plane thanks Paul. Boats |

| Ahoy Briand yep id there is carrion to be found the buzzards will make the best of it there tons of them here in Ohio I found Roscoe when he was a hatchling he fell out of the pine tree when I use to live in Tennessee. I raised him and pretty much knows me very well and he depends on me I loves those meat scraps I get from the grocery store. Boats. |
