Crows remember the faces of dangerous humans, with the memories likely lasting for a bird’s lifetime. Crows may scold people who threaten them, bringing in relatives and even strangers to mob the person. The crows within mobs then indirectly learn about the person, so they too associate that individual’s face with danger and react accordingly.
So be nice to crows - or you’ll develop a bad reputation! :)

It is just like man’s vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.

Amazing slow motion view of a sparrow brawl - their facial expressions are just like those of harried shoppers at the mall during the holiday season!
