Fucking crows are too smart. They have trained me to leave them sunflower seeds in return for alerting me anytime someone approaches my house. Fuckers.

I would love to give them sunflower seeds.

My cousin had a tame crow who he had fixed a broken wing on and it just moved into the barn and never left. He would stand in the driveway and bellow HELLO at anyone who pulled in, and then demand you feed him some muskmelon. Eventually he got cataracts and the local veterinary university program offered to remove them, he lived like twenty years. Funny bird.
