It came out in 2003.
Just saw two crows trying to catch a squirrel in the woods. The squirrel was jumping from tree to tree with the crows flying after it. They were definitely trying to catch it. So from what I saw crows do eat/hunt squirrels
No; you don't need to split a crow's tongue to enable it to speak. The imitation sounds that crows make come from their throat.
Yes, Crows will actually feed on baby birds and ducklings. I have seen a number of crows who will snatch the baby duckling away from mothers because she can't protect them all. This happens every spring in my complex where we have ducks come to the ponds. We have a large population of crows in the area. Very sad to see.
Well, maybe its a different way of saying "kill two birds with one stone"...
Stone the Crows ended in 1973.

Stone the Crow was created in 1994.
Some names for groups of animals have GOT to be made up for fun (A Stubborn of Rhinoceroses). In the case of crows, there is doubt about the origin- other than hearing a flock of crows sound an alarm- as if they were screaming bloody murder.
From the 1961 Irvine Stone novel about Michelangelo of the same name.
Come Around - Counting Crows song - was created in 2008-07.
The phrase "whose crumbs the crows inspect" means it's something people will pick through very carefully to see what they can find. The phrase comes from an Emily Dickinson poem called Fame is a Fickle Food.

Stone the crow is an expression when someone is frustrated, annoyed or irritated.
The phrase "he's quite the Crow-Master" likely originates from a playful or humorous interpretation of the term "Crow," often associated with intelligence and cleverness, as crows are known for their problem-solving skills. It may also be a reference to popular culture, such as literature, films, or video games, where characters exhibit cunning or mastery over a situation, akin to a "master" of crows. Additionally, it can evoke the image of someone who is adept at managing or controlling a group, much like a "master" leading crows.
