"I know! I'll sneak up behind them, pull their tail feathers, they'll get spooked and leave, and then I can bathe in peace."

Well done, crow. I'm not sure I would have thought of that...

It's more that it gets the one to chase after the other and gets rid of both in one trick. Though I guess whether you believe it was intentional or not is another matter, but given how smart we know they are I choose to believe it.
