I've actually seen this a few times, don't know if it's true but it would make sense. Most of the research I've read indicates that the Corvids are remarkably smart. They can remember like 200 hiding places, memorize people's faces and form complex societies with a territory and everything. Because their families are largely territorial, they can actually stay in the same place for generations and you can actually 'befriend' them by leaving them gifts and such. I'm not sure how much of that is true, but I've seen tons of information like that out there. I've even heard their intelligence rivals chimps, but they are ridiculously incapable of socializing like chimps which makes them seem much stupider.

Of course, they are still carrion birds, so that is enough for most people to outright dismiss them as awful as pigeons and gulls.
