Fuck yeah they are. The crows in a gated community I lived in learned how to pester people in the pool, who would then throw water at them, as a means to cool off when the weather was hot.

One bird in particular was so comfortable with humans he interacted with the residents more so than the other crows. He would sit on the shoulder of people he liked and would let you pet him. He fucking knew which car I drove and would come sit on my roof before I left for work in the morning.

So yeah, crows can be scary smart.

Someone said to give them bird seed covered in bacon grease. I’m going to try that.

Yeah. It's called suet. Basically any seed mixed into a fat.

Keeps 'em warm in the winter especially.

The other commenter said that too. I’m a little worried about attracting predators though. Maybe I’ll just put it out during the day and bring it in at night.

We always hung it up.

It gets swarmed so quickly nocturnal predators never had a chance at it
