I saw the University of Washington study on crows. The participants wore masks. Some were nice some angry looking. They found that the older crows taught the younger ones to fear certain people who wore the angry mask. Very interesting!
How about if you rescue one🤔It got wedged between the slats of the fence and probably would have died😔But I pulled the slats apart and it was a bit listless but I urged it to fly by lifting it as I held it and off it went 🐦⬛ I think sometimes it stops by to visit😌
To my knowledge it's even crazier than that. They are very social creatures. You pissed off one crow, now it's descendents hate you. And possibly it's neighbors.
I had all but abandoned that shit-hole until Election Day..
Came back that morning full of energy.. and den, it all went to shit..
(I know what you thinking - err.. sorry.. )
This is why we started feeding them years ago. Now they follow us around the neighborhood. I have felt a knock on my hatted head a time or two but mostly they just hang out.
I have crows that visit a wading pool I set up for them to take a bath in . We have had years of droughts and the heat . They come everyday . Alway in pairs ,one stand guard while one baths . They also beat up any hawks that come around . I have chickens .

Their lifespan is 7-8 years. Ravens can live to be in their 20s. That means crows hold grudges after death, ravens most of their lives, and I have nothing that adequately comprehends this.

Picture of a crow standing on a branch, looking to its right. Under the picture is text saying, "Crows hold grudges for up to 17 years"

(I know what you thinking -
"You want some mate?"
Did someone piss off a crow and then ask it daily if it was still mad until it said no?
Crow took 17 years to say no. 😂😂
Do they just forget?
Or can they just not be bothered to care anymore?
I posted that here too. 😀

Life's too short to hold grudges.
Is that all
I've got grudges that go back to 1962
And I'm a duck
But it's nice to see you on BlueSky, Tiger!
