    Cute story, not that’s not how crows behave. They immediately distrust any random human who interacts with one of their dead in any way, and they share their knowledge of who they dislike with their offspring for generations.

    They also wouldn’t think to bring a flower in particular but would instead bring something of significance to them, such as a shiny object, a nice rock, or some other random small thing.

      I’ve been feeding my local crows roasted peanuts for a couple of years now. They’ve never given me shit as a present, ungrateful little bastards. One time I thought they left me a little cluster of seeds and berries as a present and I was happy, but then I realized one of them just puked that up so he could eat the peanuts.

    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.

    It’s definitely a threat. We’ll do you like you did our cousin. Sleep with one eye open, human.
