I like the spirit behind the idea. I strongly dislike putting crows in harm's way, 'cuz we all know a sizable chunk of MAGA fucks wouldn't feel a shred of remorse if they managed to get hold of a crow that went after their hat, or otherwise just pulled out a gun and shot them.
I would imagine that the crows are in places where brandishing a firearm to fire on a bird isn't allowed. Also, while I'm not one of these fascist fuck faces, I've been swooped by red wing black birds, and when it happens the first instinct is, "Fuck! Oh fuck! Bird!!!".

you ain't innocent, don't front. only teams from your division anyone likes are the Jays and the Rays

Lol teaching it to attack red hats.
LongLive@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 209d
Is there a prevalence of carrying firearms among them? The crows would probably learn quickly from a gunshot.
blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 54 pts · 209d
Great idea. Crows can remember faces so when the magas boot off and attack the crow.
A grudge will be born

Worse they seen describe you to the others so multiple will know them.

Crows are pretty good at the old peck'n'dodge, and pretty tough generally, especially when in a murder.
I think we could extend this training to seagulls, baiting the MAGA hats with French fries. Get started now to ruin the nazis' summer.
rumba@lemmy.zip · 9 pts · 209d
Now that's a winning idea, I'd feel pretty bad if a crow got hurt. Fucking seagulls man, screw those things.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 209d
They act exactly like Republicans: MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!
Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 208d
But do they have the intelligence to handle this? Crows certainly do. I'm doubtful of seagulls
rumba@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 208d
Yeah, i've seen them to some pretty sneaky stuff for food, but I don't know that even if they could handle it without it being related to food.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 208d
Yeah, if a MAGA pulled a gun and tried to shoot a crow, he'd be more likely to shoot his MAGA companion, as the crows laugh at them.
OTOH, if he managed to hit the crow, ALL the other crows are going to get revenge.

train them to poop in them instead.

"I feared for my life", if they can use it to justify murdering humans they'll absolutely allow it as a defense to pulling a gun on a bird
Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 208d
Suggesting that any MAGA has the marksmanship to hit a crow.

Honestly, that whole saga happened very shortly after I started using Reddit. I don't have much of an opinion, I just know a bit of the lore.
It does indeed sound like he knew quite a bit about birds.

They should use a MAGA hat as the bait hat so crows will know exactly what to look for
whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 209d
maybe OOP didn't want to touch a real maga hat, and I can't blame them
Blackfeathr@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 209d
That's fair 😆
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 210d
eh then for their content they would have to blur out the words to prevent free publicity. Easier to just use a blank so there is less video editing.

I believe they would be able to tell the difference, so yeah 👍

Inb4 MAGA start legitimately believing that they are drones. Like, serious MTG and man-made hurricane level.

You could train them not to trust men wearing hats and face masks. Then the crows will likely harass anyone who fits the description.
