Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore...

Years ago, when I was walking through a nature reserve, I saw a crow sitting, I think on a sign. I decided to rattle and/or swing my keys at it, causing it to fly away.
After that, it was like the crows had a beef with me. I think they did stuff for days, I imagine months (maybe years), like circling low near or over me, squawking aggressively at me. I'm under the impression they even hovered around outside while I was indoors, like they were waiting for me to come outside again. They remembered me.... seemingly for a while.
Now it's different. 馃檪 I've been nicer to them lately, and they've either forgiven me or something or it's been forgotten.
Intelligent birds.

@Andrew19EightyFive Crows are remarkably intelligent, and also very mean. You know how there's different names for a group of animals? Like a group of cows is a herd, a group of ducks is a flock, a group of geese is a gaggle, and so on? A group of crows is known as a "murder." So if you see a bunch of them flying together, it's called a murder of crows. This is because if they recognize a crow from a different group, they will often attack and kill it, or if they see a crow that used to be part of their group but forsook them and left, they'll kill it too.

@BlueMetalChick 馃憖 I didn't know that.
I just remembered "troop of monkeys". Perhaps somebody thought they seemed militarised in one or another respect.
