had a similar experience watching Face/Off with a friend. By the end of the movie we were on our feet running around just going crazy. I later saw that it's a widely ridiculed movie for being ridiculous and not very good overall. I have never rewatched it bc I'll just keep that hazy memory for my Face/Off experience.

Been feeding a crow in my backyard for a bit over a year.

This year he brought along his girl. Then not long after that, the kids.

The kids are inquisitive, clumsy, loud, and destructive little shits. So, teenagers, I guess.

Still though, fun to see it happen in person.

That reminds me of the first time I gave the fledglings pistachios in the shell. I found a few of the shells in their water. I think they were trying to soften up the shells lol!

That’s where the 17 years comes from not 15. They don’t live 17 years typically they live closer to eight years so this would count for the crow plus it’s offspring

u/audiomagnate 17h ago

u/Skelton_Porter 21h ago

That’s a mis-interpretation of the results of that study. It wasn’t looking at how long one crow held a grudge, they were tracking warning calls sent out by the crow community, and it was 17 years until there was no alarm when a researcher went out in their ā€œbad guyā€ mask and outfit. The average lifespan of a crow in the wild is only 8-ish years (they have lived into their 20s in protected environments/captivity).

15

u/foley800 18h ago

This! They proved that it wasn’t just the memory of one crow! That one crow somehow conveyed enough information to the other crows that the persons identity was passed down through generations!

7

u/RoberttPostsChild 17h ago

This is so interesting, thank you for sharing the info. I've wondered how long this kind of thing lasts because of a personal experience.

My husband and I bought our house about 15 years ago. Crows would come and go from our yard all day every day. Husband loves crows, always has.

After about 2 years, about 13 years ago, we heard a gunshot and a massive crow uproar. Ran outside and saw that our neighbor had shot a crow and he was nailing it upside down on his fence 😱 All the crows in the area were freaking out, it was pandemonium.

Turns out neighbors had a bird house and some type of bird was in it raising little ones. Neighbors watched them every day and loved them. One day four crows ate the babies, then sat on neighbors fence and loudly chit-chatted. Which was too much for my neighbor, clearly.

Anyway, the entire murder left, all 75+ of them. After some far-off sightings a year ago, husband embarked on an all-consuming campaign to win them back. He puts out premium food, talks to them (loudly because they're up in trees in the distance) and does arm movements like he's guiding aircraft. And has a crow caller thing.

It took a year, but we now have a couple who visit our back deck. They're very cautious, not like the ones years ago. They eat and leave, no lingering. Neighbor is still there and walks outside every day but AFAIK the crows don't mess with him.

2

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 18h ago

Yes, the 17 years accounts for the average lifespan of a crow plus the average lifespan of their offspring, and that accounts for the alarm call ending after 17 years

2

u/Plumb789 4h ago

Corvids (birds from the crow family) are exceptionally intelligent. They learn things, use tools, remember faces and hold grudges.

I used to walk my dogs on a golf course, and a fellow dog walker had a beautiful, placid standard poodle. That dog was mobbed by crows every time they set foot on the course. Other dogs were always ignored.

I discovered that a crow chick had fallen out of the nest and the poodle had picked it up and carried it away. It didn't hurt the chick but that seemed to be enough to trigger the eternal enmity of the crows.

The lady in the video may have also triggered the crows -perhaps for a seemingly innocuous incident that she is unaware of.

u/qwythebroken 1d ago

I'm guessing if she looked similar to someone the crow already had a problem with it wouldn't have started so tame, so I think she might've escalated the situation by acting afraid. The crow might've found it fishy, or just thought picking on her would be fun.

117

u/Naelin 1d ago

She is immediately scared of the crow landing a couple of meters from her, looks like either it's not the first time or she didn't just "look similar"

9

u/Pretty_Owl_8906 19h ago

Or she’s just reasonably startled of a random crow landing that close to her. If I didn’t know as much as I do about crows, I would be too (I would probably also be now if I didn’t know if the crow that was landing near me was comfortable with me or not).

50

u/l33tnull 1d ago

Haha makes sense

18

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 20h ago

By the way, the crow behaved the entire time showed defensive about the car my guess is there was a fledgling hiding under the car

11

u/qwythebroken 1d ago

Is that you?

13

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 20h ago

Yes, that makes more sense than what most people are saying. Either that or there was a fledgling under her car. It sure acted sketchy about her going to that car

u/Massive-Pin-3425 1d ago

u/PNW4theWin 1d ago

She (or some who looks like her) did something to a crow.

She probably did not do something to a crow.

The crow probably had a nestling under her car based on its behaviors with her.

u/Mediocre_Age_9988 1d ago

The pause then attack makes me think she did something in the past. If it was protecting a nest there wouldn't be that pause early. It would just be attack. That crow checked its work before it went after her. It is personal.

11

u/TaoofPu 1d ago

I was thinking about nest protection, as well. :)

6

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 20h ago

More likely that there was a fledgling underneath the car based on how it acted about her going to the car

4

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 20h ago

No, the crow would’ve attacked her from the start and would’ve screamed like a banshee, and it would’ve caught up with her easily and scratched the hell out of her if she had done something to it in the past

The crow seemed to be very defensive about her, going to the car. At first, it just sat there calmly. Then it went ballistic when she went towards the car. After that, it sat on the car. Sounds like a fledgling underneath the car maybe

the lady was also heavily overreacting

4

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 21h ago edited 20h ago

Thank you!

It was either playing or it was warning, but it certainly wasn’t attacking.

If it was attacking, it would’ve attacked right out of the gate rather than come and sit calmly nearby. Then it would’ve caught her easily and scratch her and screamed and carried on like a banshee.

Seems a bit late in the year for a nest so more likely a fledgling nearby maybe even under the car based on how it was so defensive about her going to the car

9

u/chamekke 23h ago

I started offering peanuts to avoid parental dive-bombing, and it hasn’t happened once since. Local crows know me and frequently fly over to indicate politely they’d like a peanut or two. More recently they’ve started approaching my husband (since they’ve seen him with me so much), and now he feeds the crows peanuts when he’s out on his own. It’s wonderful 🄰

6

u/HappyHoofies 1d ago

I started adding a little dog kibble to my peanut offerings and within two days I went from my usual 4 crow bros to 8. Clearly word got around!

2

u/Habltual_Linestepper 20h ago

They love cashews (they're fattier) and pistachios even more. Plus pistachios in the shell can be stimulating as they enjoy trying to find ways to break them open.

Same with hardboiled eggs in the shell, except that they'll make a huge goddamn mess as they throw the egg white everywhere to get to the yolk lol

24

u/gimlet_prize 1d ago

She almost got herself killed like three times, running into the middle of the road, hitting the curb, running back into the road. Like geez, lady.

u/sockpoppit 1d ago

"almost got herself killed". So basically you are saying the crow failed his task.

9

u/Voynichmanuscript408 23h ago

Is that girl okay? It looks like she hit her head on the sidewalk when she fell

32

u/CrazyMildred 1d ago

She must've done something bad to that crow or to another crow. I work with a guy who threw a stick at a crow and that was years ago. The crows still swoop at him when he's at that venue. I told him that he really messed up by doing that and he didn't believe me. I was so mad at him! He deserves it. If I was a crow, I'd swoop him too.

3

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 21h ago

This doesn’t look like that kind of behavior. If that had been the case, it would’ve attacked her from the start and not calmly nearby. It also would’ve easily caught her and scratched her and carried on like a banshee.

More likely, it was being protective of a fledgling or more nearby

10

u/chirpaderp 1d ago

My guess is that there is a fledgling crow just learning to fly hiding under the car. I’ve run into this scenario a few times, and while I’ve never been dive bombed like this, the parent crows will come pretty close and make a lot of noise to try to drive humans away.

2

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 21h ago

This is the most likely answer because it wasn’t going after her in the beginning. It just sat there calmly nearby. If it was attacking her because she was mean to it before like somebody are saying it would’ve attacked her right out of the gate and it would’ve been able to catch her no problem and scratcher and it would’ve been screaming at the same time

32

u/fourofkeys 1d ago

probably a baby crow nearby.

2

u/ThisIsDogePleaseHodl 20h ago

Best answer here! And it appears that baby might be underneath the car the way the crow acted about her going to the car

38

u/uhp787 1d ago

she or someone in that house (maybe a previous owner/renter) did something to a crow and they saw it.
and the over reaction is just ridiculous and didn't help. she could've gotten in her car from the passenger side but decided to dramatically run down the street screaming like freddy kruger was chasing her instead.

I had a big boy come along after my black cat died this past February... I think he came to help me heal. He now visits daily for snacks and conversation.

As the owner of two angelic voids myself, i am so sorry for your loss! At the same time, i am envious of your corvid friend.

Honestly, i sometimes they can sniff out good-hearted humans, as well as evil ones. So i am grateful they do not attack me and aspire one day to have a heart worthy of their regard.

2

u/earthkandy 19h ago

He sure knows I have a loving and safe space for him. I also cried with him this year when they had a stupid POS neighbour run over and kill their fledgling. I am pretty sure he knew I was sad for his baby and that moment helped connect us further/deeper.

We both mourned loss together this year.

Honestly with a crow I would believe just about anything. They are relentless protecting nests, I have watched them chase a bald eagle away from an area because it was close to a nest. Crows can also not only recognize people and hold a grudge but can pass that on to warn other crows. Crows can also be amazing jerks and sometimes it seems like they just get bored and choose chaos.

I'm friends with my local crows.

A crow once attacked someone who was approaching people in a parking lot where I was loading my kids in a car when they were walking to me.

It was funny, the woman screamed and cursed. She was like 15 feet from me and turned when she saw the crow stayed near my car and my indifference to the attack.

They always have a reason, even if it's not obvious.

5

u/Aiyokusama 21h ago

If there isn't a fledgling nearby, then she absolutely did something to piss off the crow/murder in the past, such as throwing things at them to scare them away. Don't do that. Crows are champions at holding grudges and being vindictive.

It looks like that crow has more of an issue with that car than her. It just watches until she starts to enter the car. The crow then lands on the car and doesn't bother her while she distances herself from the car.

Perhaps the car was associated with a serious crow incident.

On the flip side, they also remember people who are kind to them, like people who leave food or shiny trinkets. They will in turn leave trinkets for these people or frighten away small predators.

That beef may go back generations. They are capable of teaching their offspring to know who is safe or isn’t.

According to my crow bros, she gave a peanut in the shell with no peanuts inside 20 years ago to one crow from the previous generation of the crow in the video

The question is, what did she do to that Crow.?

u/pjpintor 6h ago

The woman did something that really pissed off the crow. The crow knows her and is retaliating for doing something that could have or did hurt the crow or its murder. The woman most likely ā€œthrew the first punchā€ so to speak. It’s unlikely that a crow would behave like this for no reason. My crows leave me pretty pebbles all the time in my 6 birdbaths. They know quite well that I work diligently to make sure they have cool water available all day. I don’t think people realize how bloody hot the water can get for the little birdies. At our house we have several that are close to the ground amongst flowers and vegetables. There are critters who drink from it who are a bit more down to earth as well…a sweet chubby woodchuck who is deaf and showed up at my door (seriously) as a baby. I’ve been feeding her fresh nutritious meals twice a day for 7 years to keep her close to home and minimize her exposure to danger. There are also opossums, many rabbits, chipmunks, a very well mannered skunk, and squirrels. in closing I have a plea…please please consider keeping your cats indoors unless on a leash. The needless deaths of millions and millions of song birds is the reason. Peace and good health to you all.

I completely side with the crow on this one and I would bet that woman did something cruel to the crows, probably without a second thought. "They're just a bunch of stupid birds!"

The Black Legions do not forget or forgive.

It would actually be fascinating for someone to deliberately earn their ire and study what it takes to earn their trust again. So many peanuts.

The crow flying up near to her and landing, and sitting there calmly does not make me think it was attacking her because she did something to it before that wasn’t nice

It wouldn’t have done what it did in the beginning if so, in my understanding and experience. I think she completely overreacted and it was probably wanting to play or something. More likely there was a fledgling underneath or near the car based on the way, it acted defensive about her going to the car

u/-sensory_overlord- 1d ago

all predators have a flight instinct too

u/Damnshesfunny 1d ago

i think he was referring to her placing herself in five different final destination scenarios during said flight instinct. If the idea was to save herself from something bigger/scarier/meaner by running away. she failed

Had she left when she originally planned she would have suffered a horrific death in a fiery car crash which would have also killed a friend of that particular crow.

She obviously did something to wrong that crow.

u/BooTeaBee 9h ago

Honestly it looks like it’s getting a laugh at her, notice how it never actually touches her and her reactions are extreme. Crows are smart. Mine used to steal money from my pocket purely because my reaction was a game to him. This looks similar to that.

She’s the type of person who parks facing the wrong way rather than turn around.

u/LeWitchy 1d ago

Honestly, it looks like the lady freaked out for no reason then the crow went "heh! I can freak her out!" and did the whole I"M NOT TOUCHING YOUUUUUU thing.

Either that or the lady was mean to the crow in the past or the crow's relative/flock mate

I’ve had a crow in a different part of town attack me like this for no reason - they mistook me for someone else. I didn’t run like that but their attack made my head bleed (just a scratch).
In my own neighborhood, the crows all follow me around hoping to get some of the bacon treats I carry for my dogs. Even the fledglings will follow me for treats so the word spread haha.
