I wonder what dinosaur they were. They are smart, crafty and opportunistic............I hate them. I think they plan their poop bombs.

I watch them oh yes I keep my eye on them. I watch them raiding eggs and snatching baby squirrels. they work in tag teams. I once watched them flip a turtle on its back and peck and peck until they got the liver, they then flew off and fought over it. They sit on top of buildings and poke their heads over the edge and watch me watch them. They talk to each other and squak faster and faster until the biggest one lets out a big long squak then they all fly off to do some evil deed.

...and did nothing to stop them. Why didn't you chase them away? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Critters in distress deserve help, you fucker.

I raised a crow when I was a kid, I climbed the tree and took one of the babies, fed it gravy train dog food soaked in water when it was little.

He loved rock and roll hated country music and cigarettes.

he would fly down and land on my shoulder when I came home He was a cool bird.

i saw this on PBS not long ago...they are so amazingly intelligent:

Nature PBS

Although cultures around the world may regard the crow as a scavenger, bad omen, or simply a nuisance, this bad reputation might overshadow what could be regarded as the crow’s most striking characteristic – its intelligence. New research indicates that crows are among the brightest animals in the world. NATURE’s A Murder of Crows brings you these so-called feathered apes, as you have never seen them before

You just dont fuck with nature. If it was a mugging with people I would have done something.

I watched the first video and about a third of the PBS show. Very cool! I always wondered if the crows around here timed dropping walnuts in the street so a car would run it over and break it open for them. Walnuts drop in front of my car all the freaking time.

Now I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they're doing.

I could have done without seeing the hawk rip the crow apart.

I hope you didn't stop it then because it was well enough to fly away and tell its buddies about the bitch hawk.

Oh good. I got kind of pissed off and shut the video off. I think hawks are amazing but I really love crows. Thanks.
