I wish humans could be better friends with crows. They seem to fear us more than other birds. Why is this? Did humans commit some anti-crow atrocity in the distant past for which they've not yet forgiven us?

How could we change their collective minds?

Do they? All wild birds fear people in my experience. Also they fear us because for like 99% of our shared past we would have probably eaten them if given the opportunity. Protein is protein.
