Because they're so annoying that no one really (in America) gives a damn how tasty they are because our first thought is generally "Why won't that f*ing crow shut up?" and/or "where is my damn rifle"?

(tho i think it works for both)
It's worse when they don't beg, and just walk over and start trying to help themselves.Tyyr wrote:Yeah, crows don't care about you. Gulls actively annoy you. They're like rats with wings that beg.

They don't have much meat on them. Note that the chicken and the turkey are both (relatively) flightless and fucking stupid, so there easy to keep and can devote more of their food to the tasty bits.Because crows are harder to catch?
I've met stones that are more intelligent than my dog.Cpl Kendall wrote:What crows are awesome and might just be as intelligent or more as your dog!
Wild turkeys are also a different breed then domestic turkey's, they can fly, short distances but it's easy to see how they lead to becoming domesticated.Mikey wrote:I've met stones that are more intelligent than my dog.Cpl Kendall wrote:What crows are awesome and might just be as intelligent or more as your dog!
And wild turkeys are nowhere near flightless. And of course, Wild TurkeyTM can induce all sorts of flight.
Uh, those are at least easy to contain if you desire which makes it a bit easier then corralling a bird.Mikey wrote:We seed clams, oysters, scallops, and mussels.
Which can be quite unhealthy from what I recall.We farm freshwater trout.
The point is that we do farm animals for food that have a very low meat:effort ratio.Cpl Kendall wrote:Uh, those are at least easy to contain if you desire which makes it a bit easier then corralling a bird.
Yes, we do now. However a great many of our farmed animals are the result of thousands of years of effort, from a point where they would have needed such a high ratio. There's no reason not to domesticate and consume crows now, just that no one can apparently be bothered.Mikey wrote:
