cursingyorick: I agree! I knew crows (and corvids in general) were crafty and intelligent, but Joshua Klein's vending machine is amazing--and he raises an excellent point.
If we CAN teach wild crows, maybe we can teach them not to cause us trouble (crows destroy telecom lines for nesting material, ruin crops, and eat songbird eggs/nestlings).
Since they're multiplying exponentially, I think laws should be changed to allow them to be kept as pets, too. It'd be better than culling them.
More evidence to prove than animals are not stupid. Did you know that they can understand human tones? There was a pigon in the bank and everyone was yelling at it and I spoke to it calmly and though it was still terrified, it definatly calmed down a bit and let my carry it outside.
Okay, I think I may have decided to write a Watership Down style story about crows.
