This isn't new, and is at least a few years old.

Chatham is messed, I lived there till I was 8, and around there till I was 17, there are crows everywhere, the Burger King parking lot was full of them because someone use to throw old french fries out back. Terrible place to live.

cue Edgar Allan Poe jokes.

Or the Alfred Hitchc**k jokes.
From TFA:
"Crows remember the faces of "dangerous humans," with the memories likely lasting for a bird's lifetime.
Crows may scold people who threaten them, bringing in relatives and even strangers to mob the person.
The crows within mobs then indirectly learn about the person, so they too associate that individual's face with danger and react accordingly."
yikes.

I angered a cow once. Now it stands outside my window staring at me, slowing chewing cud.
Slowly. Staring. Chewing.

That's because crows are the servants of Shai'tan. The Dark One forgets nothing.

They are particularly atuned to people who eat too much crow... but they prefer to hang out in crow bars... and are fond of crowmagnon man...

Police investigators would probably prefer to interrogate crows to humans if they could get them to talk. Too bad there is not a magic hat they can put on crows heads and face them at a line-up.
Of course, I doubt crows care if a human kills another human. It is interesting that they: spy predators at a distance, sound a basically all-species alarm against the predators, and remember the face of a human that attacks them for half a decade.

I think this is true of many animals. There was a kid in my neighborhood who threw a rock at a dog who used to live in a fenced in backyard. A few years later that same dog managed to get outside/free .. the first thing he did was chase that kid down and bite him.

What about if you tell it a joke?
meribianJun 29, 2011
I wonder if they tell each other jokes and if some of their noises are bird-laughs.

I have been told by hunters that crows were smart, but today science corroborates it.
