Every year, during spring, something bizarre happens at the Tower Ranch Golf and Country Club.

Ravens come, take abandoned golf balls and drop them all over the course 香蕉视频直播� as well as areas outside of it.

That香蕉视频直播檚 how Kelowna resident Jude Bowman was able to collect about 175 golf balls, by picking up the balls ravens dropped.

She said it香蕉视频直播檚 like an Easter egg hunt for golfers and walkers like her.

香蕉视频直播淵ou see the ravens flying around with the golf balls in their beaks and they just drop them helter-skelter,香蕉视频直播� she said.

香蕉视频直播淚 walk a lot every day and I collect the golf balls along my way.香蕉视频直播�

Bowman added her neighbours also collect golf balls during their walks.

香蕉视频直播淲e collect the balls and keep them. When you play golf, you lose a lot of them,香蕉视频直播� Bowman explained.

Tower Ranch香蕉视频直播檚 general manager James Cronk said they don香蕉视频直播檛 know why it happens, just that it happens every spring.

香蕉视频直播淲e think it香蕉视频直播檚 because the golf balls look shiny in the grass, and they get attracted by that so they pick them up,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淥r, it might be that they look like eggs so they want to take it with them.香蕉视频直播�

He added that fortunately, they haven香蕉视频直播檛 received reports of people being injured when the ravens drop the balls. Black Press Media reached out to several other golf courses in Kelowna, but they don香蕉视频直播檛 have the same issue.

As for Bowman, she香蕉视频直播檚 happy about her golf ball collection. She said picking them up while on her walks is good entertainment, and washing them when she gets home is a good way to pass the time.

Tower Ranch Golf Course opens April 29, for the season.

We have reached out to the Conservation Officer Service to ask if this is the usual raven behaviour and will update this story once more information is available.
