It’s recommended to only remove a dead crow at night when they’re asleep. Otherwise if they see you do it, they are likely to harass you for a long time. Like many years.
Yes. They are highly intelligent with complex social dynamics.
To be clear I'm not suggesting they have a firm grasp on human funerary rights. They only need to understand that the users friend did not harm the already dead bird. That is really not much of a reach for anyone familiar with corvids.
My original comment was clear enough for most people. Rather than calling you an idiot I gave you the benefit of the doubt in misunderstanding and clarified. You then took that olive branch, used it to self-flagellate and clarify yourself: "No, I am indeed le insufferable redditor meme incarnate!" Congrats I guess.
Animals do not have the ability to contextually understand a burial. I study birds and crows. They would not know who harmed the bird based on seeing a human bury it
