Kites are apparently well known for this type of behavior as well.

I used to have a magpie outside my house that would sometimes get so aggressive when he saw me with my bike that I couldn’t leave the property. Normally they knock it off when their children can leave the nest, but when this arsehole’s kids were old enough to fly he taught them to act as sentries and call him over to hassle me some more.
Fuck magpies.

Grey jays (whisky jacks) are also corvids. If you’re eating lunch outside at a ski chalet in the Rockies, they will swipe the food from your plate on the wing.

I’m no raven expert, but I am wondering if a squirt gun (water) would be enough to deter them.
Nope. They’ll tell all their friends about it then mob you.

Not only their friends, their kids as well, and they remember faces, and hold a grudge too!
Most birds are remarkably smart, but corvids, especially ravens and New Caledonian crows are astonishing, self aware and tool users.
