Feed them. They're smart enough to know you're worth keeping around.

There are cases of communities of crows who are regularly fed by the same person trying to "pay" for the food by bringing small stones and shiny objects.

I remember one case of that where the crows would try to pull small weeds, and would shred flowers for compost, as they had seen their feeder do gardening between feeding sessions.

Tail pulling is a known crow behavior. If a big predator like an eagle or even a wolf has killed an animal and is eating it. crows will pull on their tail until they get annoyed enough to snap at the crow. Then, while the big predator is distracted, the other crows will jump in and eat their fill of the kill



Also, sometimes they just do it because they're bored. And assholes.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

quote:

One time it was a tiny piece of metal with the word "best" printed on it. "I don't know if they still have the part that says 'friend'," Gabi laughs, amused by the thought of a crow wearing a matching necklace.

At the local zoo they have free-roaming peafowl, and the crows would scatter their food in front of their cage to entice peacocks to come and eat it so the crows could snatch their tail feathers. They put the feathers on the top of their tree and were very proud of then.

So that poor dude thinks that vaginas have some kind of dick growing powers? Like they are some hosed up vegetable garden, but for dicks? Or more that the in and out motion stretches out the penis over time?
