That's a fancy way of saying crows are in fact, racist
Don't fuck with the crows is all I can say.
I had some Bluejays in my backyard terrorizing anyone back there. One day there was a baby Bluejay that fell from their hillside tree nest, and was completely screwed becuase it could not fly and could not jump high enough to clear the 3 foot retaining wall.
The parents were screaming loud enough for me to see what was up.
I went out there, picked up the baby and put it on the top of the wall where it promptly bounced its way up to mom and dad.
Suddenly, I was no longer attacked, and the cashews I put out for them seemed to be appreciated. They didn't even wait for me to leave before coming to get them. I'm gonna assume they will return next year.
I know the bee I saved with some raw honey was told to the hive, becuase now anytime a bee is hanging out near me, it's usually exhausted and wanting honey from me.
These creatures are far smarter than we give them credit for. If they need to get rid of their bad seeds, I trust them. They do a better job than humans it seems.
Most birds seem intelligent enough to understand threat/no threat, you're well on your way to building a bluejay army.
That's cool about the bees too. I'll take either of those any day over the alternative feral apes.
