Maybe wild flocks o crows can be mean and destructive, but the baby crows I raised as pets growing up were so sweet and charming.
They followed us around like little puppies. About the only undesirable habit they had was they liked bright shiny objects like jewelry, etc and would take it to play with. We often had to search the house for it and other things like eye glasses. LOL
We even taught them to say a few words. (Yes, crows can be taught to talk. They are natural mimics) One could say his name (Joe), 'hello', 'Hi', 'eat', and a few other words.
If any of you ever get the chance to take in a baby crow, do it. I'd do it in a NY minute. Very charming pets.
Crows have been proven to be very intelligent. They even use tools in the wild- like using a stick to fish ants out of a hole
.
I have heard that when one group of crows spots a person who is particularly mean or nice, these crows will ‘tell’ their friends and their offspring who that special person is and where to find them. Meaning if you drive your Mazarriti (sp) through a deep puddle full of crows sipping water, they will probably remember your car, your face, and how much danger your free splash put them in.
