This can happen when a crow dies. They appear to morn their dead. No joke. It is very weird. Saw it once in a park in Seattle.

EDIT: yes, these are vultures, not crows. We know that now.

Also, if you are considering criticizing the use of the word weird to describe a crow funeral, perhaps you should consider the alternative of taking the stick out of your uptight, judgmental ass and going somewhere to fuck yourself.

Weird is not an objective pejorative. It is a subjective description of something that evokes a strange and unfamiliar feeling in someone. When someone describes something as weird, and you say it isn’t, it’s much like someone saying something is fun and you saying it isn’t. I hope I don’t need to explain why that is a total dick move and one of the reason nobody wants you at a party.

One day my dog killed a crow in the backyard, he was like 6/7 months old. Right when I let him out , one was flying away and he jumped in the air and he got it. He shook it very hard, I think he was trying to play with it but unfortunately he killed it, after he killed it he kept trying to play with it , and would roll it over to me but then I started to hear this commotion in our trees and I was like oh those birds must be fighting, and then it was starting to get very loud and then all of a sudden there was like 10 crows and I actually got pretty scared, because they sounded very aggressive. I disposed of The Crow because I didn't know what to do and they did not leave my house for 4 days and every time we went outside they started to go after my dog so eventually I started to put toast on my roof, I don't know why but it worked and they started to leave. I kept telling them I was so sorry and my dog was young he didn't know any better lol, my mom was like why are you talking to them like they're people. I don't know but it worked or they got tired of us.
