Crows freak me out. They seem so sinister and menacing. I probably need a pet crow but they scare me.

@Talyaa They're extremely intelligent and know how to use tools. I don't think they'd make suitable pets. Maybe suitable friends.

@SuzanEraslan @Talyaa I'm reading Tracks by Robyn Davidson, and she talks about how she took a baby crow from its nest to keep as a pet/friend. It's a little startling, but also fascinating and quirky. Akhnaton definitely had more power than a dog or a cat in that relationship.

@SuzanEraslan @jason I imagine it would require concerted effort to make a pet out of a baby crow.
