IT'S LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, DON'T PISS OFF CROWS

I've been noticing a drastic uptick n the amount of crows living near my house. You can't miss them, they're big, they're black and they're loud as fuck. Luckily for me, a month or so ago I read an article on Cracked .com about how smart Crows are and how vengeful they are as well. Let's put it this way, if the vengeance of the Mafia is a 9, then Crows are a Caw! 10 Caw! These guys don't like getting fucked with and worse than that, they never forget a face. A study done by some bird nerds captured and released some crows. While the crows were in captivity, their captors all wore the same exact rubber face mask. After the Crows were released the bird scientists would walk around campus wearing the masks. Everytime the masks came out, the crows would mob, attack and generally try to fuck up whoever was wearing the mask. The interesting thing the scientists found out was that many of the birds attacking were never caught by the scientists. Some of the crows would stage single attacks on the mask wearers which let the scientists know that somehow the crows had communicated the facial features of who they wanted attacked but also the fact that they wanted the mask wearing douchebag dead. Another weird aspect to this story is that the crows passed on this vendetta against the mask wearers across generations. Younger crows just barely able to fly also launched solo attacks on the mask wearing masochists. What scientists have also found out about Crows and the language they use is that it warns other crows away from danger in perpetuity. Farmers who shoot a single crow in their fields often find that just the death of one Crow is enough to warn off every other crow that ever thought of landing in the same cornfield. Somehow with all that caw caw-ing, they spread the word that a particular field is to be avoided. Crows are also the only animal outside of the great apes that make and use their own tools. They bend wire and other items to use as hooks to retrieve items out of the reach of their beaks. This makes those asshole dolphins with their flips and squeeks, getting themselves caught in nets, look like fucking idiots. Now when I go outside and the crows are squawking away, I give them a tip of the hat and a wide birth. They are some badass birds and I for one don't want to get chased by every fucking crow in the universe for the rest of my life.
