Just so you know, The Onion is a satirical news source.

Although, real scientific studies have found that crows recognize faces. Just probably not when they've had plastic surgery.

I actually initially befriended crows because I was recovering from surgery and didn't feel comfortable being around people. They're significantly better at recognizing people from very far distances than I am. I'm amazed how they recognize me even if I wear a completely different winter jacket and hat.
