Crows
Submitted by Anonymous Tipster on Sun, 05/18/2008 - 10:23pm.
There was a crow that would come around my house years ago and eat out of our hands. We'd pet him (or her) and he'd make happy "purring" noises, and we'd give him pieces of tinfoil. They're wonderful, intelligent animals!

Fascinating, just today I read that children in Imperial Rome kept crows as pets, and I found it hard to believe!
