There are probably some people who should be getting ready to eat crow.

What do you mean? That idiom is completely unfamiliar to me.

Crow tastes bad. To eat crow is to eat the shit that came out of your mouth after being proven wrong.

Let me be a bit cheeky here and suggest you might check Google :P

Would have done so, if I hadn't been at work and had more than a few seconds of time to just dictate a reply :P

And thanks Clearspira. How do you know how crow tastes, though?

All I know about crows as far as symbolism is that they're considered to bring bad luck when you eat one.

I haven't tasted one, but my dad grew up on a farm. I dunno about today with our far stricter gun laws, but 50-60 years ago farmers were allowed to shoot them. Nasty things crows, they'll attack anything given the chance.

Now that the topic has hovered over crows a bit more generally, I'd like to posit that in reading up on them a tad from video topic on Facebook, they're a peculiar social species. I've known for a while from Physical Antrho that they're intelligent enough to drop walnuts into the street to be opened by cars running over them. Then I learned that for instance when one crow steals food from a baby crow they chastise it out of the group.

Yeah, I really shouldn't have jumped to conclusions on this one. =/ I'm in the wrong.

There is a small girl who feeds crows and they bring her shiny things.

If you feed a racoon it will steal your shiny things
