#obviously you're still huge and loud and scary and make too sudden movements to them sometimes

My crowfriends came so close today <3 I love watching their trust in me develop

#I think what makes crows really interesting is that they're not domesticated. Domesticated animals are evolved to be able to truste you #and wild aninmals usually are a lot more wary #but crows got all the traits of a species that lived AMONG humans for centuries and sees humans produce some of their main food sources #and this paired with their brains results in an uncanny ability to conceptualise humans as individuals #obviously you're still huge and loud and scary and make too sudden movements to them sometimes #but just like they recognise faces they're also quick to learn 'oh this SCaRy tHiNG that HUMAN does didn't hurt me' and then they come back #and compared to other species they pick up on this stuff really quickly #and that's how you get a wild bird flying about town to suddenly go 'hey I'll check up on what That Human is doing n peek into their window
