A favorite crow story from r/legaladvice: [oregon] I accidentally created an army of crow body guards. Am I liable if my murder attempts murder? UPDATE: The crows saved a life https://old.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/lobhtj/oregon_i_accidentally_created_an_army_of_crow/ https://old.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/lobhtj/oregon_... I also read a comment online somewhere (maybe here?) recently where someone talked about a crow they met years ago while in college at the local Taco Bell who would exchange nickels for tacos. I believe they said that crow would even croak "TACO" when it presented the nickel. Now I wish I would have bookmarked that one. [UPDATE] I tracked down the Taco Bell story: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/572ajt/whats_the_coolest_thing_youve_seen_a_crow_do/d8oenhx/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/572ajt/whats_the... This comment is 5 years old so I think I read a copypasta version of this. Or maybe author reposted it somewhere more recently. Anyway, great story.

There's also the 4chan classic of a guy starting a turf war between crows: https://www.reddit.com/r/greentext/comments/5mi9nu/anon_starts_world_war_crow/ https://www.reddit.com/r/greentext/comments/5mi9nu/anon_star...

  Did he tag the crows? Otherwise, how was he sure that some of the tree crows didn't convert to grass grows?

I've been feeding the crows around my house since near the beginning of the pandemic. Since we were home we started noticing them. In fact, there are several bird types. Blue Jays and others I don't even know the type. Unfortunately, our neighbors got angry because the crows would wait for feeding times and sit on the power lines and ... crap on their cars. And the squirrels grab the peanuts and hide them and once I was coming back from a walk and the neighbor walked up to me and said "hold out your hand" and then dropped a peanut shell in my hand. Really frustrating, because it's not like there are a lot of them. Usually they fly away with them and leave them elsewhere. Two stories related to this: 1. I was talking with a neighbor for a good while. We were talking and heard a sound like metal dropping near me. I said "did you hear that, too?" ... I looked around and there was a bottle cap a few feet away and a crow above it on the power line. They were impatient and wanted their peanuts. 2. I was walking a few blocks away from my house and an empty peanut shell dropped right in front of me. Looked up and a crow on the power line. Right now a couple of crows are building a next. One of them looks much bigger than normal and seems to fly slowly. Crowlets incoming??

    Gotta agree there. And I have had a good relationship with that neighbor for 20 years. Now down the tubes because of a little bird shit. Ah, well, I value my bird friends more, TBH.
