Corvidae are smart, and seem to have good memory.
I've heard that a good way to keep them away is to kill one, and hang up the corpse on display. Others will stay away.
- neverminder 8y agoThey are smart indeed. Apparently they can remember faces (https://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/26/science/26crow.html https://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/26/science/26crow.html) and colors (https://phys.org/news/2011-12-crows-colours-year-japanese.html https://phys.org/news/2011-12-crows-colours-year-japanese.ht...) which is how I'm guessing the crow I've encountered knew which clothes specifically to take a dump on. Really fascinating stuff.
- adventured 8y agoA large murder of crows had become a problem near where I live. The group seemed to get larger by the year. They'd turn clusters of trees black, and were incredibly loud. During a certain time of year when they showed up, they'd terrorize areas with vast amounts of shit. The local government poisoned a bunch of them (took several years to get approval). The crows got the hint and never came back again.
