Ticking House Crows

[Laurie & Leanne Knight <>]

For all of those who have sought out the House Crow in Victoria, a
question of ticking ethics.

Is there a distinction between ticking a vagrant that has landed in
Australia through an accident of navigation or been blown off course
[but has basically got to Oz under its own steam] and ticking a bird
that has hitched a lift on a cargo / passenger ship?

Is ticking the house crow any different from ticking a ptarmigan that
has obviously escaped from an aviary?
