I was almost attacked by a crow...

Very good advice. They're wicked smart.

wow! i had the same experience with a bluejay about a month ago, and they're corvids too.

I thought he could just sense the evil op

They don't call a crow group a "murder of crows" for nothing, OP.

OP, they recognize individuals and pass info to other crows, so chances are you and your little dog will permanently be on their shitlist.

Really, as I was heading back, I was seriously remembering “The Birds”!!

From r1's article:

[quote] While the Cheney mask drew a muted response, the caveman mask prompted rounds of angry squawking and flapping, not only from the birds previously captured but also from crows that had witnessed the initial trapping.

[quote] At one of the five sites, 20% of crows reacted angrily to the caveman face shortly after the trapping. After five years, the proportion of crows reacting to the caveman face was recorded at 60%, suggesting that word had spread among the flock that this was a dangerous face.

So this author actually wants us to believe that crows can somehow describe to other crows what a particular mask looks like???

"Caw, caw, caw, caw, caaaaaw!" [Translated: "Okay, it's a rubber mask, but this particular one looks nothing like the former vice-president under George W. Bush; rather, the rubber here is fashioned to resemble a heavy brow, a thick beard, and also messy uncut brown hair, and it means TROUBLE, so if someone wearing it approaches, attack him!"]

I absolutely adore crows, and always enjoy watching them. I want to put by bird feeder back out early, now!

R8, go out and test it.

Wait--I speak their language!

I almost died!

Apparently the crows savagely attack me — and leave little footprints all over my face.

I have same experiences but with magpies

The crows in my neighborhood are chill. We exchange pleasantries daily. I'm not sure if they'd like it as much if I had a doggo in tow, though.

R8 Shuns science, doesn't wear a mask, and believes the earth is flat.

I feed my neighborhood crows. They like peanuts

I eat a lot of crow. It’s like they troll me for all my lies.

They have an agenda.

Don't even think about singing "Risseldy, Rosseldy" when you're around crows, OP.

It all started with half of a Filet-O-Fish sandwich. I used to drive to the park during my lunch breaks, and I had ordered two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches. I couldn't finish them both, so threw the unfinished portion out, thinking of the raccoons, but a handful of crows dived down and devoured it. After that, every time I'd eat in the park, larger and larger groups of crows would recognize my car, and gather, waiting to be fed. It got to the point I'd buy extra food just so I'd have something to offer them, like an order of fries, when i never even eat fries.

When it finally registered that they had managed to train me, and that I was afraid to disappoint them, I stopped going to that park for lunch, but worried that they might follow me home. They didn't, thankfully.

Quoth the raven, Demi Moore!

They do have eyes, to this I can adduce - not to mention an uncanny facility for disseminating pertinent counsel.

Next time bring a peace offering of some peanuts.

I was dive-bombed by blackbirds when I got too close to their nesting area. I also used to go out to a little area and wait a few minutes and a certain mockingbird would appear because he recognized me and knew I had food for him to carry back to his babies. One day I was sitting on my porch nearby reading a book, and I looked up and saw him standing there looking at me expectantly. Some birds will definitely recognize you.

Robins do the same thing. Sometimes they'll even try to distract you by faking an injury. I had some clever ones who pretend they have a broken wing and hobble around trying to lure me to follow them (away from their babies, of course). If I follow them, they'll cleverly fly away when they get me far enough away from their nest.

It has nothing and I do mean NOTHING to do with fledgings. I just think you’re an *asshole*. Stay off my turf ... or else.

I found a live shot of DUMB FUCK OP.

"His" babies? Surely he wasn't an FTM, R26.
