You've become a friend of the crows, though.

They remember faces, and can communicate good or ill will toward someone to each other.

True story. That guy shows his family where you live, and you will be Faust, Friend of Crows forever.

Fact. You're kind of like an honorary crow now.
And if they feel like fucking with somebody's shit, it'll be the guy down the road who took shots at them.  :lol:

Try to avoid salt, I've heard it's bad for birds.

Crows are smart as FUCK. I hope you keep him.  :)

This, I bet the fucker's smart enough to realize someone will feed him if he just goes door to door long enough.

No dude this is really cool of you. Its like ech and the baby mouse.

That's what I thought too.

Do crows carry any transmittable diseases though?

Nothing really worth worrying about; they aren't much of a vector animal. They can catch West Nile (poor guys are dying in droves of it in some areas) but it still requires mosquitoes to spread it.

Cool. Now I kind of want a pet crow too.

There are some theories that crows are smarter than parrots... and Alex the African Grey tested somewhere in the neighborhood of a 6 year old human. The biggest issue they have is developing tests that a crow won't simply ignore or cheat on.

When Sjaantze (harbinger of distraction) used to work at the World Bird Sanctuary, they kept hearing weird whispers in one of the houses. They all joked about it being haunted, but turns out it was a couple pied crows that would talk to each other, unless someone was there, then they would whisper  :lulz:

It makes you wonder about dino intelligence. Maybe dinos would have had a civilization if not for that meteor. It seems that a certian level of human intelligence is not difficult. Though there does have to be some sort of mutational trend to a manipulating appendage.

...er we are talking about bird intelligence and how with some bird species have the intelligence of human children. Whales and dolphins are smart too. Just because we split the atom and left the planet doesnt mean they couldnt have given different selective pressures. Also who the hell are you?

1.  Birds with the intelligence of human children?  Balls.

2.  Dinosaurs aren't people, and should be wiped out.

3.  LOOK AT AVATAR, PLS.

Quote1.  Birds with the intelligence of human children?  Balls.

I find that plenty plausible, after the ones I've had to deal with.  Most of mine would lose in an intelligence contest against a pigeon.

A dead pigeon.

Cant see avatars on my phone. Im going to assume noob otherwise youd know that.

And it was mentioned that parrots have the intelligence of 6 year old children and it is suspected crows are more intelligent than that or do you not want to address that point?
