Answer: I read a recent article about a Japanese student who climbed up to put small cameras into a magpie’s nest. After that, they used to recognise him and attack him every time they saw him. I also know of a dog which attacked a bird. Then, every time the crows saw the dog, it would attack just that one dog.
