-Better than a kick in the tail is a nice way of saying "It's better than being kicked in the arse" Referring to something of undesirable content, but still manageable.

Never heard of starve the crows.

Hi antipodeans, wondering if you could help me out with a question.

I'm studying my English Linguistics syllabus and I'm revising 'World Englishes', New Zealand and Australian English atm. There's two idiomatic phrases I don't understand in there.

What does

-better than a kick in the tail
-starve the crows

mean?
Starve the cows might have something to do with children going hungry, Ive heard something similar used in that context.

"Better than a kick in the tail" is the same as "Better something than nothing"

I've never heard of "Starve the crows", but I have on occasion used "Stone the crows" as an exclamation of surprise and/or disbelief.
