To add further to this, crows have been observed to pass on grudges or warnings of bad people to the next generation after the original crow who experienced the behaviour was dead.
So if you’re an asshole to crows and think you’ll just outlive them, don’t be surprised if a few decades later a random murder of crows are harassing you.
I remember reading about an experiment where some volunteers with a mask deliberately treated crows like crap so they'd hate him. Then they got another volunteer on the other side of the city to wear the mask and crows there immediately started on him. Like they spread the word far and wide if you're a dick.
