Bird: I SUMMON YOU TO FULFILL YOUR OATH.
Me: Well…you know what? Sure.

You don't want to get on the wrong side of a murder of crows.

What a beautiful day to have lunch in the park. The sun is shining, the birds are singing.

Bird: AAAAWH! AAAAWH! Give me your fucking food! AAAAWH!

Resting bird face

Corvids can be very intimidating. Where I live we get a lot of Magpie, Crows and Jackdaws, but also sometimes Ravens. The smaller birds are very curious and sometimes a bit rude, so they interact with humans a bunch. They are mostly harmless, if you make a loud noise or sudden movement they go away. The Ravens are a bit different, they are mostly afraid of humans and tend to stay away from populated areas. Sometimes they sit in trees or on rooftops and make a bunch of noise, bit that's about it. One day I was riding my bicycle in between some fields and woods when I came upon a large raven sitting in the path. I yelled for it to get out of the way or I would hit it. For the other birds I mentioned that's usually enough and they fly off, if they haven't done so just by seeing me approaching. This Raven thing was something else, he just looked at me and didn't move at all. So I slowed down and as I got closer it just kept staring until it made a loud noise and flapped its wings. I fully stopped and it would not move away, it wasn't till I was close and saw how large this bird actually was. It easily came up to above my knee, although I suspected it was stretching and puffing up to seem larger. It yelled at me again so I just turned around and took another path. This dude was not to be messed with.

I’ve been told ravens can recognize people hold grudges. So I would avoid pissing them off.

ravens can recognize people hold grudges

I think you accidentally a word.

This could be:

  • ravens can recognize people and hold grudges
  • ravens can recognize that people hold grudges
  • ravens can recognize people who hold grudges

Yeah I accidentally a word.

Thanks for correcting it 10 days later.

I also edited.

Jackdaws

I really hope this isn't a copy paste of that Reddit legend lol. Otherwise I love your story! I love these birds more, the more I read about them.

In my part of the world in South Africa, the only corvid type I ever (seldomly) see around is the Pied Crow. They're also fairly large and I wouldn't want to mess with an aggressive one. I've never really heard of people befriending them or having any particular trouble with them around here though. And I only ever see one, maybe two at a time.

[–] Thorry@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Nope, no copy pasta, true story!

Jackdaws are super common around here.

Crows can hold grudges against people who bother them and remember people who give them food. This one looks like he will hold a grudge just for not giving him food

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

I leave peanuts for crows because one time I fed a crow and it said "thank you."

Give him a tiny sunhat :)
