crows and other birds are very good at recognizing faces so they absolutely know it's you

I do feel like they are my little buddies now. When ever I seem them I make a crowing sound. I think maybe they think I am a crazy bird. They are probably right. But, I weirdly feel like they are my friends. Hahaha.

Almost sounds like making offerings to a friendly god. How curious!

Ah, I am not so sure, crows consider humans gods. They kind of lack respect for that ..

I mean, it ain't like we humans are known for being consistently reverent toward our own gods, either.

  What makes Corvids truly fascinating, is that their offspring will be taught to recognize them too.

Isn't it fascinating that even a different species must have some expression for "stay away from that Karen"?

I'll charitably assume that you're missing a comma and the crow-kid is called Karen.

And if you aren't, I'll ask you to take your mysogynist slurs elsewhere.

Can they recognize person? I highly doubt it because even humans, we are very good recognizing faces, still not very good recognizing faces from another race. I know birds can recognize themselves, from feather patterns and so on. I would think the way they see us would be similar to the way we see them, they probably look the same to us.

Why do you think people are bad at recognizing people of another race? When you rarely meet people of some race then maybe, yes, but I think it must be a matter of experience and you will get better. Think twins for example, after a little time with them you’ll differentiate them easily.

humans are terrible at faces. Chickens are much better at it.
