Crows and their ilk are awesome. We have a few crow families in our neighborhood that seem to know us pretty well, including a family that lives in an actual crows nest atop a broken tree branch. Once I was working up the street from my house, and I ran home for some tools. When I came back to the job, there were the crows sitting in a tree by the garage, and one was sitting on top of my neighbors van, which had a partially open sliding door. The crow was really letting me have it for being near the van, talking up a storm. I went and stood way back in the garage to watch the crow on top of the van. It looked around, then flew down into the van and came out with a take-out clamshell box, which it proceeded to open and eat the leftover sandwich that was inside. I know getting food is not so brilliant, but the crows are so intense and vocal around here I have to believe that it was bitching at me for disturbing it’s lunch break.
