People who live with parrots know that the birds watch us, sometimes to figure out how to get along, and sometimes to figure out how to push our buttons. Apparently, some of our outside avian companions do it as well.
It's fairly common lore, I think, about the crows at the University of Washington.

Now a wildlife biologist at the University is studying facial recognition in groups of crows.
