I like except thr bit about trying to get crows to pick up litter and conduct search and rescue too many variables, besides being the crows Fagin sounds just too awesome.
I do like the bit about crownapping researchers got griefed. I wonder if any tried to buy off the crows.
n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
We have a large murder living around our area. From time to time you'll see them walking up and down in front of the house in single file. A wee crow parade. Cawing at each other.
There's lots of fascinating intelligent animals on our planet, it'd be nice if more people realised this.

I wish I could get a corvid of any kind as pet. In the United States it's illegal to keep domestic crows and ravens as pets, or at all without special permits. Non-native corvids are available, and every bit as smart as their native cousins. However corvid ownership needs to be approached both in set up and mindset like a large parrot, they are VERY smart and need to be stimulated to be properly cared for. It's like having a toddler in the house.
I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn
Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long

"Domestic" crows? I assume that is referring to a captive bred non-native?
Because otherwise it seems silly to make it illegal to have a native crow(who are not in danger of going extinct)

Domesticated crows sound awesome! I bet they'd make the best pet since Dogs. Especially if we can teach them to "talk".
Because really, who doesn't want a trained crow (or raven ) who can perch on your shoulder, eat corn out of your hand, make sarcastic wisecracks, and deliver your mail?

And send messages to King's Landing that the White Walkers have returned!
