Corvids are amazing. It is vital that they know you are on their side. They hold grudges, and remember faces - they even teach their children which humans are good and which are not. Hmm. I wonder if we could convince them to join the resistance.
The Texas Mockingbird will give them a run for their money. I was attacked years ago while walking into the bank in Dallas and then they came after me again when I left the bank. Still traumatized.
No. Unfortunately it is not only in Australia. Oregon state has an exemption to the International Birds treaty that permits murder of Magpies if they are deemed a nuisance. Heck, I know a lot of humans that are a nuisance.
