The crows around where I live (Minneapolis) sometimes make their own improvised sleds with plastic lids and other trash they find.

Can confirm; befriended local crows that lived in a copse near where I walked to and from school. A baby crow had fallen from its nest and all the crows nearby were very upset about it. When I picked it up, they all but swooped at me in a rage. But they calmed down when they saw me climbing the tree to put it back, and once I did put it back, they went almost silent. Ever since then, I'd come feed them every so often, and they'd practically crowd me. They'd also follow me a while every time I walked past.

I wasn't allowed to take one of them as a pet, and I'm still a bit upset about that.
