Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Quoth the [Crow], "I'm Fucking Awesome."

I am sorry I asked. Please carry on.
That being said, I don't see many crows around my area anymore. A whole slew of them got killed off by the West Nile virus a few years ago, and I don't think they've really recovered from it.

Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I

Hiding in plain sight.

I'm doing Movember for Men's Health! Donate if you can - thanks.
but yes, its a pretty major rule of ecology that something like 95% of species introductions go badly wrong. Its not just Oz

and ravens, of course. I'll stop dancing through tangents now.
He claims that one of his old friends had a pet crow that could speak, like a parrot. I don't know if it's true or not.
Also, for all the talk of our impending avian overlords, well...I'm not sure it will play out as well as we hoped.

Crows are pretty closely related to parrots and they share the ability to make human sounds.
How do you manage to get them?
The author's pets were orphaned chicks, if I recall correctly. You basically just have to get them to believe you're their parent and then feed them roadkill and other nasty crow food until they can go out and feed themselves.
Birds evolved from dinosaurs. Crows are birds. Crows evolved from dinosaurs.
Crows are highly evolved, intelligent dinosaurs which can communicate, speak English, make tools to solve problems, produce art, and work together in teams to achieve goals.
We're fucked.
PUNY APES!

In the US, it's illegal to have crows as pets. However, if you become a caretaker for orphaned or injured crows, you can get a de facto crow pet.
Ravens have four pinion feathers on each wing, while crows only have three. So the differance is just a matter of a pinion.

Is there any reason you can't buy crows as pets just like you would a parakeet or a macaw? Seems like they ought to be just as easy to domesticate, and they're a hell of a lot easier to find, too.
That's hardly the only difference, but it's true that most of the differences tend to be superficial. Ravens tend to be larger, tend to have more arched beaks, etc. There are differences in social structure, as well.

Go for it. I reported him for awesome. so his genius will live forever... in a seldom visited subforum.
So that's why I found a dead, mutilated owl in my backyard. My dad and I spent the whole day trying to figure out what would attack an owl.
One time when I was a little kid my cousin told me she had "found out how to talk to her cat". So she brings the cat into the room and starts making these horrible schreeching caterwauling noises.
We got a reaction from the cat, alright. Unfortunately, the only thing she knew how to say in Cattese was "DEAD NOW MOTHERFUCKER!" because the cat flipped out and attacked her.
Now, back to talking about crows.
