First time I saw a crow not dig up the turtle eggs. I'm thinking the turtle just went thru the motions due to spotting that crow. Plus usually the crow will be hovering above in the air. This time the crow became too obvious by standing just a few feet away from the turtle.

I know crows are scavengers - like garbage collectors that keep things relatively clean - but I still don’t like them. Especially a murder of crows.

> Angry Crow Tries to Dig Up Turtle Eggs <

I really have to work on my reading comprehension. I initially read that title twice. And both times I read it as “Angry Cow Tries to Dig Up Turtle Eggs”.

So I’m thinking Oh, great. Now even the cows are angry.

I think the modern internet term for that is called
“Gaslighting”: doing something to make somebody else doubt their own sanity.

The term comes from a 1944 movie where a husband slowly manipulates his wife into believing she’s going mad. He would dim the gaslights in her part of the house and then act as though nothing was wrong with the lights at all, she must have been having yet another case of ‘bad nerves’. “Have another pink pill, Dear.”

Anthropomorphism:

The attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities.


You can't possibly know whether crows even experience "anger," much less that's what this one was displaying.
