RE: First time crowing
as an example to how smart they are, crows are one of the few animals that remember intricate DETAILS. Like a lot of other animals, if you shoot at them and miss, and they get away, they'll remember 'man' as a whole, and stay away from anything that stinks like 'man'. Crows will remember FACES. So if you are the only one in the household that messes with them, they won't scatter when anyone from your house comes out, but they sure as hell will scatter when YOU come out. And they have been known to torment/harrass specific people who have wronged them before.
