We love our doggos, we really do, but if we had to choose a critter companion for a post-apocalyptic world, we would choose a crow. Crows are incredibly intelligent, trainable, have effective communication with other crows, and, when you get to know them, they can be pretty cute. So next time you see a crow on your way home, remember that they could be your new best friend… and savior in the event of an emergency.

The frustrated neighbor in this post learned this lesson the hard way. One of their neighbors always takes up all the free parking with his fleet of personal trucks. There was nothing physically they could do about it, so they turned to their next best friend - the avian community. After befriending a family of crows, this neighbor is now ready to get their just desserts whenever they want. Scroll down to see the full story below and remember: crows remember individual hoomans. If you offend a crow, it will probably tell all of its crow friends about you. You don't want to get on a crow's bad side.

    Simple petty revenge. I have a neighbor who takes up all the (free) parking on our street, and in front of my home, with his trucks, (8 or 10 of them) and also has done lots of things to personally annoy me, like drive

  • This post has also inspired us to start befriending some crows. It's not fair that most people lump them in with pigeons; they're not even remotely similar. If you feed crows, they will bring you presents. If you feed pigeons, they will just follow you around obnoxiously.

    Also, you can throw unwrapped bouillon cubes in your neighbors yard when it's sprinkling out side. The cubes will melt in the light rain into the grass making his dogs dig for the delicious smell.

    TheAnti-Karen Crows are incredibly intelligent and they are absolutely not crapping on your car because you are feeding them that is the only reason they are avoiding your car at all costs.

    SweetMaam Yes, crows remember individual humans. Nice humans and not nice humans get discussed among crows. Never be unkind to a crow, they tell their friends.

    TheBlonde1_2 Crows are frighteningly intelligent. I reckon you and your crew could cook up some real mischief if you put your minds to it.

  • Yes, think of all the things they could get up to together! Strategically-timed “droppings," poking holes in their grocery bags so they spill all over the driveway… the opportunities are endless.

    b4dkarm4 I love crows. There were a bunch of crows outside my apartment patio years ago and I regularly bought raw peanuts to toss out on the ground for them. After a few years of this they got bolder and bolder and started sitting on the back patio fence barely 4 ft away from the back door yelling at me to feed them.

    But, its all good now. I moved into my dads house after he passed away and I regularly throw out peanuts and fruit into an empty bird bath and fresh water into a secondary bird bath and now a new group of crow bros dominate my back yard.

    I want to add, if you decide to befriend some crows, be a good friend and be consistent. I had a bird feeder out back for all the non crows, I had to go out of town for a few weeks and asked my roommate to give the crows peanuts every day

    throwing peanuts out for them and filling their birdbath. They effectively put me in the doghouse for a bit. We are cool again tho. Now they see me throwing peanuts out and they will fly down and hop around me in the grass while I throw peanuts out for them. :)
