Who needs rolls when you have crows?

I stumbled onto this article about training crows to pick up coins. I thought it was both humorous and intriguing.

They do like those shinny objects.

That sounds like a fun thing to try!

This is freaking awesome. Now where does one find a crow?

There is a local car wash in my town that was loosing a bunch of money out of their quarter machine and the owner could never catch any of the emploees stealing so he put up a camera and noticed a bird that was going into his machine fairly often..Long story short he found his stash of quarters on top of the car wash thanks to this busy bird!!cant remember what bird it was but not a crow,much smaller. true story

Crows are nasty. Baby birds and bunnies are their favorite foods, crows go tree to tree plucking baby birds from their nests. Crows are very intelligent and wary, and have become over-populated where I live.

I wish there were some crows where I live. I would make one if these in a heartbeat. I don't think it would work out as well with the quails in my yard.

Somebody should train a crow to fly and grab silver out of teller trays before the tellers can snipe it, then whenever you go to a banking establishment you can carry it on your shoulder and if it sees silver it will snipe it.

My dad who is 70 had a pet crow as a kid. Said it could talk too!

Crows and owls are mortal enemies. One time I caught a huge barn owl in my chicken coop. He was tangled in some netting. I got him loose and threw him up in the air. He flew to the top of a nearby tree. A crow flew by and started squawking and circling this owl. Within minutes there were hundreds of crows attacking this owl. Wish I had a video camera handy! The owl finally flew away with a huge cloud of crows screaming behind him.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this story since I read it. I want to do it so bad!

I just saw a crow in front if my daughters school! I'm going to try this.

 

[fistfulladirt]

Not a good idea. Crows are the primary carrier of West Nile Virus.

 

[fixxxer9]

Hmmmm.... I will take that into consideration.

 

[Digesting a common clad]

I honestly think it would work, people seem to be curious when it comes to animals one crow on your shoulder in the bank probably wouldn't bat an eye. If your crow sees silver it will fly off and grab it and return to your shoulder, you could then apologize and offer a piece of clad in its place.

I just want to build a box and put it on my roof and see if crows start making me money.
