I really don’t think it would be that hard to do. It seems like an elephant in the room to ignore it.

I personally am a crow lover. And yes, I have theories about how they communicates such complex concepts, like human facial features so they can accurately describe a friend or enemy human. Birds are fascinating.🤩
We also love crows! They are brilliant. We dont have them by us, not sure why not but the other day we saw 2 birds on light that looked like mini ravens and we think, hope, they may have been crows, couldnt ID them as anything else. They werent grackles either, which I also like. Corvids are great, they too are misunderstood tho not as much of an effort to defame them. But think about it--the narrative is vicious about pigeons! And total lies. I used to believe it myself until almost 2 years ago. Esp since youre already a bird person and intelligent obviously, I encourage you to explore pigeons a little more and why they want us to hate them. Biblically speaking they are highly regarded vs gov /world wise, hated.
Also fun fact since you appreciate birds, you will also love in genesis and revelation--beginning and end--the value for all birds according to God--is made clear. Gen 1:22 n the beginning--LET THEM MULTIPLY ie dont 'cull' (rip passenger pigeon, dodo bird). Rev 19:17 in the end--Who are the guests of honor called to the supper of our Great God. At that moment, the crow, pigeon, rt hawk, eagle et al will join together and dine on the wicked.
Here, in Bern🇨🇭, I shred toasts on my window and get massively visited by hungry crows living in the trees surrounding the border of the Aare, our river which I leave nearby.
My cats love the show so everyone enjoy. The crows spread a good word about me and more than often, when I appear somewhere in town, crows will begin to fly above me and sing for me. People don’t understand why. Before the lockdown, I used to go to work before 7:00 in order to get back sooner, also there, 4km away, the crows would make a joyous noise for me, to the point that I also purchase cheap toasts for them which I throw through my window below which there our company restaurant’s roof.
Then comes the funny bit: my younger colleagues tell me that I am « stupid to feed such ugly parasites ». I ask « Besides the 🇨🇭Parliament and the bear park, what’s the most beautiful feature of Bern? », « Duh: the Munster, our cathedral », « yes, what is it dedicated to? », « Duh, don’t know? », « well, Saint Vincent. » then I tell them there’s a huge superb mural depicting the life of Bern’s protector and, after his martyr, his corpse was transported in a forest near a river. Wolves approached in order to feast upon his body. God would not allow the Saint to suffer such an outrage and sent a swarm of crows to expel the bad doggies. So, crows protect the protector of our beloved 🇨🇭capital.
Since then, my colleagues feed the crows when I am not present.🤗
I love it!!
