“Initially, Leah Wilson had no idea why the sky above her house was full of crows. Then, she and her neighbors discovered that a crow had become stuck in her home’s gutter. She enlisted the help of the local fire department to save the bird, then drove it to a wild animal rehabilitation center. A few days later, the center told her that the crow had been released back into the wild. But that wasn’t the end of the story. When walking her dog around the neighborhood, Wilson says a crow swooped down and dropped a feathered bundle at her feet. Since then, crows have left her more than half a dozen items — and they often join her on her walks with her dog.”

@superball@norcal.social Wow! I'd wondered many times whether crows would understand humans rescuing a crow, or if they'd see it as "meddling" and get angry.

@superball@norcal.social They've done studies that show crows can remember the faces of humans who have mistreated them, and pass that information on to their offspring. Crows are pretty damn smart!
