Studies show that crows have a high number of tightly packed neurons that process information, allowing them to work out complex tasks.

    It’s my life mission to befriend a crow

      I have a murder that visits my yard almost every day. I have a large bowl for water, I give them cheap dry cat food, and on occasion unsalted peanuts. Hope you can make some friends

        Me too, though I just leave out hockey masks and spare saws for him to play with

        I am only a little concerned that befriending a crow would drive a wedge between me and my dog, who would certainly see that friendship a betrayal.

      Should be pretty doable if you keep a little packet of seeds on your person

      I wanna try at some point, but my work schedule means I probably can’t make the time commitments.

      I’ve made dozens of them in the last few years. It’s awesome. They follow me on walks with my dog, and hang out sometimes near my home.
