SFW - very interesting and informative
I didn't realize anyone was speaking of crows.
Aren't ravens souped-up crows?

I don't know, but the seagulls who hang around the parking lot
of the local Capital K Mart sometime over the last year got their head
feathers done over in a more raven-like look. This does a lot to allow
them to convey, when staring at me in a flock, the message, ``Boy, your
eyeballs look delicious, and it would be a shame if someone were to jab
a beak into their succulent mass and drain the juices from your screaming
skull. Say, you weren't planning to eat every single one of those Fish
McDippers, were you?''
But clever as raven-seagull hybrids are the joke is on them:
I never get Fish McDippers, largely because the name horrifies me.
