Crows in the Congo.

Raul just ran out of the house screaming "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".


No, we're not going nuts. Raul and I work a lot at home. It's a bit unsocial but we are much more productive when we do not work at the office; at home there are no people around to shake your hand, there are no people that start talking to you, etc. However, in Bukavu there are a lot of crows; and they are noisy. They scream a lot. Moreover, we hear them walking/jumping on the roof; indeed, the tin roof-plates do not help with that. On average there are two of them in the garden and one on the roof and it's (really) annoying when you try to concentrate; something we do once in a while.


That's a small one. The big ones seem to be smarter and fly away more quickly.


In addition to being loud, those chaps are also really big, insolent and... scary. The reason why I think the latter is because of a great TED talk I saw about half a year ago. With the current internet connection I will have to wait for January to see it again, but for the people with a faster connection see
