Unlike many people, I love crows -- I had one as a child. Found him
with an injured wing and rehabilitated him. After he was healed, he
stayed around for a couple of years, then came home less and less often
until he stopped altogether. You're right about their being smart. He
was a lot of fun and seemed to like me, but he was never a "pet"...
