Why can't we all just get along and share this planet with our fellow inhabitants? Crows are wonderfully social, smart birds. Their ability to adapt to civilazation shows this. Many times the offspring from the previous year stays with their parents to help take care of new nestlings and fledglings. Very family oriented birds...no wonder they like DL. For those of you who have said you don't like crows - try to have an open mind, read up on them or observe them for a while. You might find out what a truly amazing creature they really are.

They don't seem to migrate, as I put leftover chicken strips out for them in mid winter on a window ledge.

Also says that they can be removed if they are causing a nuisance because of large numbers or are destroying ornamental or shade trees.
