Definitely no! Unsettling studies have shown that crows have the ability to remember the faces of threatening humans. Researchers at the University of Washington\u2019s School of Forest Resources wore a unique mask as they trapped, banded, and released up to 15 birds at five study sites near Seattle. The released birds immediately began to go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0056869\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alfred Hitchcock\u2019s <i>The Birds<\/i><\/a> on the mask wearer, encouraging other birds to join in and eventually forming an angry mob. As if that wasn\u2019t horrifying enough, the researchers later put the masks back on while traveling to a different area. Crows immediately recognized the \u201cdangerous face\u201d and began to Hitchcock it up again, showing that the birds learned of the threat through social means and not a direct experience. So what happens when you\u2019re on a crow\u2019s hit list? The bothered crow will first give out harsh calls, called scolds, in order to tell other crows a mob is in order. Then, the mob of birds takes action, diving from the sky to drive you out of their territory. Think the grudge won\u2019t last too long? Crows can live for up to 20 years, meaning you\u2019ll be the target of retribution for quite some time\u2014and even from some birds you never even met.
