“I called the cops about a murder on my front lawn…” (joke)

A group of crows is a “murder.” “There was a murder on my front lawn this afternoon.  Fortunately, it was just a lot of crows” was posted on Twitter by Glenn Peters on December 11, 2010.

“I called the cops about a murder on my front lawn and they just hung up. They said that couldn’t do anything about crows and to stop calling” was posted on Reddit—Jokes on March 10, 2016.

“What do you call two crows on a branch?"/"Attempted murder” is a related riddle.
