Comment on How do I re-establish peaceful relations with a family of crows?
Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIt’s to help repel the other birds that aren’t crows a bit more, while the crows quickly figure out it’s not alive and a symbol for them.
Or so I’m told. Maybe I should start a Kickstarter to help fund a double blind experiment and see what crows prefer:
Effigy, No effigy, Effigy of a different bird
And then set up many of these little crow shrines around and see how they do

I know crows are can be smart, but aside from an exceptional one here and there, I sincerely doubt a bird is going to see an effigy of a bird, and recognize it as a picture of them.

I’m no bird scientist either, but I do know Crows pass the mirror test, so it makes sense to me they could probably recognize other Crows

I’m certain they can recognize other crows. As in living birds.
