Crows . . .
Whatever you do, don't get them po'ed at you. If you respect them, they'll respect you.
...But just throw one stone, and -- we-e-ell...
Studies show the crow to be amazingly intelligent. They'll hang around cawing at you, pecking at anything you happen to leave outside. Worst of all, they seem to have the ability to pass the "bad-guy" news on to their buddies, and you end up with a complete murder yelling at you.
