Friend or Foe? Crows Never Forget a Face, It Seems - NYTimes.com

These kind of research findings are always so fun. :3 The researchers in this article researched whether crows recognize human faces by wearing various masks. (Dick Cheney mask?? yikes the hunting incident;;; It'd have been fun too if they wore the mask from the Scream movies- I've always liked that mask... ahem.) When seeing people wearing the masks that researchers wore when they captured (and later released, of course) some of the birds, the flock (murder of crows!) would harrass and even swoop down at the offensive human. wow. XD;;

I guess it coincides with the conventional adage/saying that when a kkachi cries, a guest will arrive, which is supposedly said to be because the birds cry out in warning because they see strangers. It's like... confirming what you always believed to be true (more or less) by gathering evidence that will convince almost everyone? So... hurray for scientists! :)

...wait a minute. why are my last two posts about a scare"crow" and "crows" o_o?;;;; Do I.. like birds?;; (..the short answer is "yes".. hmm.)
