    They are known to hold inter-generational grudges.
    Mess with one crow and it will warn the whole family about you.
    Especially its children.
    No joke.
    So… good luck.

      Last spring (not this past spring, but last year) I came across a fledgling crow on the ground when I was walking my dog. It was on our normal dog walk route and I checked in on it daily, giving it space. After 3 days or so I gave it some water and did some reading about fledgling birds and all that. After it had been on the ground for a week I called an animal rescue and they came and checked on it and sure enough, it was injured so they took it.

      Just about every day the crows caw and click at me when we walk. I don’t know if they recognize us and are scolding us or if they’re just doing crow things. I hope they dont think too poorly of me, I was trying to help.

        We’ve got a few crow friends, they follow us on our dog walk and will now come within 2 feet of our dog to ask for dog treats or peanuts. Another dog came near the crows and our dog went into guarding mode… So I think she figured out they are bros
