Crows are a bit of a trip. They definitely exhibit a notable level of intelligence, and even carry grudges. It sounds like this dude had a fragile system worked out with the crows in his vicinity. Unfortunately, his timing was off for making good on some bird tax, and he ended up paying the price. Maybe just don't stow the raw egg in your pocket next time around, man.

Honestly, this "friendship" is rather one-sided, in that I feed them things like cheese, scraps of baked chicken, corn, duck feed (actually, they steal this, but that's another story), Goldfish Crackers, and eggs (both hardboiled and occasionally raw). What do I get in return? Well, other than feeling like I'm constantly in

    Font - Anyways, although I'll get up to four crows at a time demanding food, there are two in particular who I've literally known for years. I call them Sunny and Starla. I honestly don't know which one is the male, and which is the female, but I do know that Sunny is bigger, bolder, and gets VERY demanding during the spring when it's nesting time. Sunny will literally perch on the roof of my car and stare in at me as l'm buckling my kid in each morning. Being a clever bird, Sunny has realized t

    Font - Anyways, this morning, after paying the "bird tax" TWICE, I was outside repotting some plants. Who flies into the backyard and starts screaming at me from the branch overhead? Sunny. Afraid l'll get intentionally pooped on if I don't pay up yet again, I reassure Sunny I hear him/her. But instead of going to the car to get Goldfish Crackers, I decide to opt for a healthier snack. I mean, it's nesting season and what mommy and daddy birds eat are what the babies eat, so I always try providi

    Font - Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough, and Sunny had already flown away. Knowing Sunny WOULD be back, I placed the egg on the ground next to me and went back to repotting plants. Time passed and Sunny didn't return, so I cleaned up my tools and started calling for Sunny. For once, Sunny apparently decided to be a wild bird and not answer my call, so I slipped the egg into my jacket pocket and started doing other outside chores - and somehow completely forgot about the raw egg in my jacket p

    Font - Nearly half an hour passed before Sunny decided to return - just as l'd decided to start weeding. As I knelt down to get one of the first weeds, I heard a "crack" in my pocket. Crap! Slimy egg innards oozed out of my pocket and onto my leg as Sunny watched overhead from a powerline. I'm still not sure if Sunny was thinking "that's what you get for not paying the bird tax earlier," or "wow, you humans are terrible at laying eggs," but I'm sure it was at least mildly amusing to watch.

    Font - In the end, I took off my jacket and did my best to empty out the remaining contents of my pocket. As I trudged inside to clean up, Sunny swooped down and started chowing down on the pile of broken eggshell and scrambled innards. At least he/she got a dinner and a show, right? TLDR: To appease a wild crow, I put a raw egg in my pocket with the intention of giving it to said bird the next time I saw it. Proceeded to forget about the egg and cracked it all over myself.
