Help
So I'm walking to the parking lot and I see some crows overhead.
Wait... this isn't just some crows. There are hundreds of them. No! Thousands! At this point, the sky is just completely full of crows from horizon to horizon.
I watched them wheel overhead and although I wasn't entirely alone in the parking lot, they seemed to have their center point above my head and are oddly paying attention to me.
So I lifted my head and bellowed "COOOOLLLLTAAAAAIIIINNNEEE!" Who cares if nobody around me got it - it was the perfect moment.
Crows, man. CROWS!

Was there a sniper nearby trying to put you out of your misery?

No, I think that's what law school is trying to do though.
I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

We have this one area of Nova Scotia called the Annapolis Valley (western part of the province) where crows used to flock by the untold thousands. It was getting so bad that small towns were cutting down trees to limit the amount of roosting/perching areas. But the worst part was the extreme measures taken to scare the crows away when the tree cutting failed. It just so happened that there's a military base very near these towns and the soldiers there would fire off artilery every day with the hopes that the huge boom would eventually scare the blasted birds away.
No such luck.
What these regularly scheduled booms did do was to literally scare the shit out of every crow in the area. It was like a raining sheet of crow shit every single day, so bad in some spots that if you were unfortunate enough to be caught out in the open when it happened you were forced to go home and change because you were pretty much covered.
Although I never suffered that misfortune myself it's instilled a life long hate for those carrion birds.
@amp, much rep to you sir.

So if you kill a group of crows, are you a murder murderer?
Can loitering groups of crows be charged with first degree murdering?

ODE TO CROWS
In addition to rain, I love crows. Why do people hate them so much? They're damn smart that's why. But if I could have a pet crow on my shoulder, I could die happy. So for those who have not witnessed their intelligence, Behold!
