Crows are a bit limited: have you considered sharks? With frickin laser beams attached to their heads?

If I had an army of crows I'd make a point to have some.

I don't usually play favorites, but for crows I have made and exception.
This article has increased my admiration for them manyfold.

I've always loved crows. Really, most scavenging animals. Raccoons, rats, etc. They are generally very curious and clever. They tend to have personality for days.

I always thought a murder is the best solution for enemies.
EDIT: of crows! A murder of crows!

We try to attract most birds to our yard, but we also have families of hawks nearby every year for some time now (and for a while a bald eagle). While the hawks are impressive, I wouldn't mind if they moved away. They gotta eat and all - I understand that's their nature.
It definitely means we cannot attract crows - they're in all the neighborhoods around, but they clearly have the sense to stay away from the "hawk" neighborhood.
It's amazing how you can hear them send different messages. "food here!" and - also warnings, and set up their mobbing behavior when a hawk or two are moving into their territory. They protect their own.
If you hear a mobbing going on you can take a walk and find disgruntled hawks trying to set up home.

I overslept by an hour this morning.
On the other hand: When (/if) I wake up at the proper time tomorrow, the daylight will give me a feeling of morning rather than mid-day

But I did loose an hour last night, from 02:00 to 03:00! Who should I go to complain to? Darwin isn't around any more.

I totally agree ... I prefer to stay in UTC+1 all year.
I think that everyone is tired of complaining about these dancing clocks ...
We need to do better

My proposal is that we all stay in UTC. All of us, all over the world. That would simplify international contacts (and even national ones, in large countries spanning several time zones). OK, so I would set my alarm clock at 05:00 rather than 06:00. People in other parts of the world will get out of bed at 02:00 or 17:00, so what? There is no rational reason for everyone calling it 06:00 when they wake up, considering that it has 24+ different interpretations across the world.
If you feel that you have to call you wake-up time the same as the wake-up time of someone in a different part of the world, it must be because you have some communication with that fellow. In that case, a lot more problems are solved by having one unambiguous, common time reference.
In international dialogs, you have to relate to a lot more than the time zone anyway. I live in UTC+1, but if I want a net meeting with some English (i.e. UTC+0) guy, I should consider him two hours behind us: While standard working hours around here are from 08:00 to 16:00 (UTC+1), the Englishman cannot be expected to be available before 10:00 (UTC+1); standard British working hours are 09:00 to 17:00 (UTC+0).
If we could agree on UTC all over the world, we should in the same reform abandon this a.m./p.m. mess and completely switch to 24 hour format.
I have no realistic hope about this becoming a reality (even though China went from 5 to 1 time zone without much problems). People are so ingrained with getting up at 06:00 that they will refuse to change it to, say, 02:00 even if the sun is just as high on the sky as before. 02:00 is not long after midnight, and no one can persuade me to get out of bed at that time, no matter what the sun says!

We haven't even managed to get Americans to understand the metric system in over a hundred years - changing the time of day would probably cause mass insanity.

Do not confuse lack of adoption with lack of understanding.

Wow ... not so fast , please let me digest the idea ...
If I am not mistaken, it can indeed help in many situations ...
Although I have one doubt about new days in this model
Yes indeed, next day happens on the whole globe at once
when 24:00:00 goes to 00:00:01, like hours, minutes and seconds now
- the model survives this little thought experiment
