Fortunately, crab claws regenerate.

whew. cuz if they didn't, he probably would feel sorry for himself.

This is relatively distrubing - because this would indicates that the crab is somewhat sentient; in that it knows it will regrow a claw.

Crabs have been thought to be purely instinctual creatures - no real developed brain, they really are not aware of themselves as a being. However, unless there is some instictual trigger, this behavior would indicate that the crab accessed itself, made a decision in the present, for a reaction in the distant future.

Crab: "That's right. I'm alive. Got my claw back too. (*snap* *snap*) Whaddya know, huh?"

Birds (Backing into a corner): "Holy mother of-- Now listen, Crab. P-please don't... IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE!"

Crab (Leaning in): "The only mistake you made was that you double-crossed me and left me ALIVE."

Birds: (*snap* *snap*) "AAAAIIIEEEEEEEE-EEEEEeeeeee!!!" (*snap* *snap*)
