A study had to be commissioned, after finding out that crows are social animals, near a busy highway.
Crows can recognise individual people, they post guard crows on buildings, light poles as they go down to find food.
Anyway, it seems they were ONLY getting killed by trucks on a busy highway, so cameras got installed and recordings were studied.
It turns out that the Guard crows can easily spot a hazard and screetch loudly "Cah!!! Cah!!!. But it seems they were completely unable to shout "Truck Truck".
Urban Crow Invasion
Oh yeah crows are social animals. The "Shit and Shriek Circus" still goes on in Auburn, NY every year

That's a fascinating story - love the people saying they want the tourists to celebrate and love their nature.
I remember a friend who returned from the war in the Falklands telling me about penguins - because everyone loves penguins too, right?
Maybe they should set up some bunk beds in a bat cave or a penguin island for them too, let them live in the filth.
