Yes Annabelle, they are quite fascinating and fun-loving creatures. I had a
crow with a broken wing last fall, and ever since I've had the honor of
having a flock of friendly crows around the neighborhood. They often follow
me, cawing back and forth with each other, and when there's no one around to
call me crazy I join in the conversation myself; they seem to enjoy my
attempt at communicating in their language.
Friend of the crows, Noel Taussig

I am particularly interested in the Crows as I like them!
