Now, I know crows are a pain in the ass sometimes, especially when they are having a caw fest outside your bedroom window on a Sunday morning...
But I like crows. They have balls. And, are pretty smart (for birds)
I love they way they play "chicken" with cars as they eat carrion in the middle of roads. I like to throw off their reckoning and watch em react when I steer towards them as they hop nonchalantly off to the shoulder.
But they know I am not going to leave the road and hit them...they just sit there.
I had a pet crow as a kid. Incredibly smart! Ravens can live over 50 years.
