You can make friends with crows.

They seem to really like peanuts and, if you offer them shell included, it's a somewhat selective package tailored to them (although great tits try, you may bribe them with sunflower seeds in selective feeders). I read reports of people sometimes receiving gifts from befriended crows in return, too, so it's possible to form complex relationships. Anyway, the downside is their beautiful singing voice... Magpies are a little less noisy, but they are very shy. Crows also seem to attack birds of prey, so you may not get blessed by the occasional falcon or hawk sighting anymore, if a murder of crows protects your balcony.

Downside is they're intelligent adversaries who won't permit you an out, once they've classified you as a food source. Mine have surrounded my apartment and tap on the windows from every angle. There's no place to hide. I'm not even allowed to sleep in late.

Don't discourage The Fellowship publicly. Mind you, crows can hold a grudge for more than a generation. You should be grateful, your lineage is destined for vita servitutis cornicinae. Ave corvus!

Didn't Alfred Hitchcock make this movie?
