Don't Cross a Crow

OK, so this is an old study (2011), but it's so good. Also something I feel duty-bound to pass along. You'll thank me later. We all know crows are intelligent birds (http://somanyinterestingthings.blogspot.com/2012/06/bird-brains.html), but did you know that they're also vengeful? According to this study (which I learned about, credit where it's due, from my beloved mental_floss), a crow will remember the face of a person who has wronged him/her and will scold that individual when next he/she's spotted ~ or even go so far as to organize a mob to menace that individual. And it gets worse (for the offending human): http://news.discovery.com/animals/zoo-animals/angry-crows-memory-life-threatening-behavior-110628.htm#mkcpgn=rssnws1
