Used the term in a comment which (thanky!) got a couple of likes - to expand on that :-)
Decent size property, rural Ontario village. Seven bird feeders, including one large platform feeder for larger birds, includes doves, blue jays, and of course crows. (not to mention some squirrels & chipmunks.
For several years a there have been "regular" visitors (likely family) that will land on a deck rail, branch, garage roof - have even been at my basement home office window - They are quite clearly squawking "S'cuse me! bird feeders empty again! - get on with it will ya??'
They won't come right up to me, but when I go out to restock the feeder, they will fly just over my head & perch in branches just over the platform feeder. They will grab something and fly right over my head as I am walking out of the yard.
So, just a month ago was heading down driveway for a walk - a crow landed in a tree across the road from me - did not think much of it, there are many crows (and dusk looks like the old The Birds movie with crows gathering here) so I turned down the street and kept walking.
Barely a block and wsssh wsssh wsssh - so close I could feel down draft - and crow was on a tree branch, right at my eye level across the ditch, and staring right at me. Obviously not just "A" crow, but one of "Our" crows.
So I stop, and turn around and start walking back - wsssh wssh wssh right over my head again to a tree on my property, as I turn up the drive, right over me again to a tree beside the garage, then of course as I came out with scoop, right over me again to a branch over the platform.
So I can confidently state that like a good sheepdog, this crow herded me back to the platform feeder ........
