They remember faces and the other person would be branded as a crow killer. They also have a pretty big range so get hassled by the crows till you move out of town by a fair bit.

Thanks for that. I knew I had incorporated this into what I know (or think I know) about corvids some time ago, but couldn’t place it.

That’ll teach him not to caw while he’s eating.

I don’t think the experiment revealed why, but corvids are always interesting. My farmer relatives have always said they are smarter than most humans.

Well it is only the 3 and I don’t put out a huge amount of kibble. I am not regular about it either so it isn’t inviting hordes of them over.

Yep. The local crows congregate and roost at the UW branch campus north of Seattle. We live near one of the ‘flyways’ so when I saw a young man don a ski mask at our neighborhood park one evening, our exchange went something like this, “Hi, studying the crows?” “Yes.” “Have a good evening.” “Thanks, you too.”

They’re probably at the funeral to say “Hey, can I have your stuff”

…ssshhhhhh…they’re watching me…
I just changed the oil in my car, all the while with a Murder of Crows watching from a big Elm in the neighbor’s yard. “ACKKK! ACKKK! Righty-Tighty, Lefty-Loosey! ….dumbass.…”
I wonder how the original term was selected. Maybe researchers noticed a lot of crows gathered around a body, staring at one crow standing alone…
