Crows are seriously the punkest of birds… but I guess in the genre of death rock?

Or maybe goats are the crows of the ground?

I hate crows. They like to perch off my bedroom and caw at the morning light. They come around and roost in the trees and caw all evening. Then they harass the hawks and owls, even my dog. They peck at my chimney and windows. I have a ready supply of acorns to throw at them to scare them off. Pain in the neck.
It sounds like we need a corvid/cenobite hybrid for this job.

Never mind. This sort of thing happens every other day here.
Bing, “Pinhead from hellraiser but a crow”.
corvid cenobite hybrid didn’t get me anything close to what you had, more dinosaur looking.
ETA: This is what I meant by more dinosaur looking

A nest of spikes is still more comfortable than a My Pillow.

Hmm, might be a chicken crow or egg situation. Are you sure they don’t harass you because you throw things at them? Corvids famously bear grudges after all…

Send them to me. I adore them. They’re very intelligent.

You should try making friends with them. They’ll bring you interesting presents.

I have a dormant blues cabaret band called Ratten Met Vleugels (Rats With Wings - it sounds a bit more poetic in Dutch) and really ought to try and turn this story into lyrics for a new song. News articles can be quite an inspiration that way.

A farmer in the UK told me that he hates crows because when his sheep give birth to lambs the local crows peck out the lamb’s eyes!
