The larger size of their bills is very distinct compared to American crows. And sure enough they’re called large-billed crows. The videos I’ve found show they have much deeper voices than American crows. It looks like the carrion crows of Japan are more like American crows.

I have a few families that visit me around my home and some at work. There’s a distinct family that’s easy to recognize because one of them has a wounded wing but still manages to fly. They just recently had a fledgling that left the nest because it’s flying around with them squawking for food all the time these days.

There are a number of people in the area that feed the local crows a variety of different foods—cat treats, peanuts, and whatever people toss from the local restaurants.

Yeah, all corvids are fair game here. The quote they commented to you is the beginning of a copypasta rant that someone did about jackdaws, crows, and corvids.

One of my hobbies is designing typefaces. I started designing a crow-inspired typeface a couple of years ago that I haven’t resumed working on yet.

To be fair, I plan in advance not to make any calls because I don’t like talking on the phone anyway…

Cleaning crews need time to clean all the rooms after morning checkout. Some hotels have early check-in available if you ask, if they have rooms already available.

And it’s not just crows. A bunch of birds eat other birds—hawks, eagles, owls, falcons, et al.

Roughly parallel with his wings. If you look at the far right tip of the wings, you’ll see the tip of the tail feathers jutting out just past them.

Direct links on which platform? It looks like the creator posts his videos to YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

He’s great at demanding cat treats from passersby.

Sounds like the Mechanical Turk which was run by chess players moving the “automaton.”

So much of the wow factor of new technologies is just marketing hyperbole.

I’ve made the comment that I feel like a Disney princess with the crows because they’ll fly up to me a lot, sometimes past my head to get my attention or they’ll squawk from a tree as a I pass by. The other day one of them landed on my car at work when I first got there because I wanted to adjust my parking but he thought I was leaving without feeding him. They’ll hang out on branches outside my office window and hope I notice them and feed them.

A beakful of treats apparently

Salt is reportedly bad for birds because it causes excess thirst and dehydration.

This is a behavior I’ve seen a lot before. It’s when one of the crows flies up to me, knowing that I will be tossing out some treats to him. I assume it’s a territorial warning, saying basically, “this upcoming bunch of treats is mine!” It’s usually the same ones that chase off others who are coming up to get some treats too.

There are quite a few crows on the streets of Portland.

She got the name Omelas from reading a road sign for Salem, Oregon backwards.

The Doctor Who episode The Beast Below presents a similar dilemma, except with the option for amnesia.
