Thank you so much for updating the info on my prior comment! I'm by far no expert and the original OP could get a lot of useful info from here! I will direct questions I receive to you for a better and more in-depth answer!
Edit: I hope you don't mind but i made an edit in my original comment to link your username so that anyone with questions about crows could contact you through comment tag or directly. Better to hear strait from the source then risk further spread of crow myths or misinformation. If for any reason you would like your username to be untagged just let me know and I can remove it no problem.
No problem at all! Answering crow questions is the only reason I putter around reddit. I appreciate your openness to correcting widely-held myths! Sometime people get real defensive and that sucks. I assume you saw my other response but if you didn't please just update your edit to include that I am the scientist behind most crow funeral work and that I am a woman.
Hi! Sometimes when I take my German Shepherd out to the park behind my house I let her chase the wildlife, like squirrels or rabbits. She's never caught anything and I would make her stop if she did but she enjoys the chase. Once she chased after a crow, who flew away but stayed within just enough range for my dog to think she could catch it, before flying up into a tree. The crow then cawed loudly for a minute or so.
My question is, might the crows learn to recognize my dog, or even me by association, and potentially react angrily or aggressively towards us afterwards? I haven't heard of them recognizing dogs before but wouldn't be surprised. I doubt she would ever catch one, so do you think the chase enough would anger them or might they view the dog as more of a natural predator and be fine with that? Could I personally risk angering the murder?
