A gang of these brazen bandits discovered my walnut trees on the EXACT SAME DAY that I finally decided to harvest the fallen nuts. Hmmff - four of them ganged up on me and staked their claim but my ability to shout and wave my arms won out in the end (if only all life's battles were so easily solved). I let them get a belly-full first though; I figure everyone deserves a few walnuts. Including the crows, who also let their displeasure be known when I started gathering with my bucket (it really is a jungle out here). They soon realised that I was doing them a favour by standing on the fruit and cracking the hulls to see which nuts were viable, saving them a lot of time and labour. Scary smart birds.
