Crow: CROW YES!
It’s actually impossible to measure how many fucks a corvid give because there is no device sensitive enough to register such a tiny amount.
science/animal side of tumblr… explain to me the birb thing
Tail Pulling is a behavior noted in many corvids. The practical application is to create a distraction that will allow the birb to make off with the target’s food. Imagine being in the lunch room and a large fellow has a Twinkie you covet. You can’t just take it from him because he’ll defend his Twinkie. But if you thwap him on the back of his neck and then dash around to snag the Twinkie while he investigates, you stand a decent chance of enjoying spongey goodness. This is basically that in birb form.
Except corvids don’t only do this as a distraction. Sometimes they seem to just being doing it to mess with other animals/birbs. But to use my lunch room analogy, there are times you might thwap someone sneakily on the back of the neck just for amusement. Primates exhibit behavior that appears to be just be annoying other animals for amusement. Given how intelligent crows are, its not unlikely that this is a manifestation of an innate desire to just fuck with someone else for the fun of it. Such as this from the link above:
THANK YOU FOR THE BIRB KNOWLEDGE

E.L. Doctorow,...
E.L. Doctorow, author of a dozen novels– as well as plays, essays, commentary and short fiction– passed away yesterday at the age of 84. America, in all its guises, was his sandbox, and he mined its history and native literary genres to build towering works of art. From his breakout early hits like The Book of Daniel and Ragtime, to his late-career masterpiece The March, Doctorow gave us unforgettable fictional mirrors that reflect our nation and ourselves.
The good folks at theresabookforthat have a great list of where to start with the late E.L. Doctorow!
Please don’t wait until your favorite authors have passed before you celebrate them

Is there any feeling better than reading a book that seems as if it was written for you? That’s the mark of an extraordinary novel. Erika Swyler’s #TheBookofSpeculation is for anyone who grow up on the North Shore of Long Island, anyone who has smelled the sea, anyone who loves traveling carnivals and mermaids and magical books and mysteries and great stories. @stmartinspress
