I think that you and all of the other sorry crow hunters out there need to get a freaking life, why kill something that is so pure and sweet, a true gift of mercy, they are friendly and talk to you with a soft caw caw in the mornings, I heard a crow at my window sill this morning and it was so wonderful, so stop it go kill pigeons or something.
Signed, who gives a freaking flying flip


Well, we’ve heard crows called a lot of different things here at Crow Busters, but never “pure and sweet” or “a true gift of mercy”. I guess “sweet” is in the eye of the beholder, but millions of songbirds and waterfowl each year might want to quibble with your “gift of mercy” statement. As far as we can see, the crow is the avian equivalent of the common house cat run amok when it comes to harming the nests of its fellow creatures. So, like the stray cat, I think we’ll continue to thin out the merciful crow whenever we get the chance. In the meantime Peanut, you might want to seek professional help if the “friendly” crows continue to “talk to you” in the morning at your window sill. Edgar Allen Poe reportedly had the same problem and you know how that turned out. Stop killing crows? “Nevermore!”
