worry about crows

We should be worrying about crows. I always thought they were ugly, creepy birds, and had the vague sense that they were up to no good. Plus, according to a very reputable source, "birds are like little dinosaurs", and we all remember those Velociraptors in Jurassic Park. Now, I hear that they are smarter than you think. Here are some creepy videos of crows doing things they shouldn't be able to:



Tool-Making Crows (read a summary of the experiment on National Geographic)



Smart Crows and Ravens

Also, they can apparently do face recognition, so they can memorize your face, and come after you in particular. Not good.
