One of my co-workers is a crow. He shows up a couple of times a week, to knock on my office window and scream at me. I'm pretty sure he's an efficiency director.
Today I decided to appease my co-worker and leave mixed nuts on the windowsill. He showed up, screamed until the other efficiency director came, both ate the nuts, then paraded back and forth in front of my window, berating me for wasting time leaving nuts when I should have been working. Fine, be that way.
But I'll do it again. #Birds

I love/hate this story.
I like the idea of getting of crows become my friends by leaving them nuts. But I think of the downsides. They scream at you!
Or, let's say you get picked up for questioning by the cops.
The cop asks you, "You're hanging out with all these crows..."
Someone pointed out that 3 or more crows is called a murder of crows. Since I only had 2, it was just attempted murder.
@ScottSoCal I went back looking for a cartoon that set up that same joke, but couldn't find it.
It was more subtle and wouldn't work if someone had already brought up the 'murder of crows" line.
But seriously, I like the idea of crow friends, but I don't like the screaming. We have several in the neighborhood and 2 of them screamed so much at friends trying to picnic in their own backyard, they they had to stop eating outside in the backyard!
My parrot, Scooter The Gray, loves crows. When I take her outside she watches for them, calls to them, and nothing thrills her more than having one call back.
I think birds are fascinating, and I love watching them, even when they're loud (like Scooter)
