In a particularly creative expression of anti-MAGA sentiment, a man who goes by the username “biz_dave” says he successfully trained crows to attack MAGA hats. As detailed in a series of posts on Threads, the self-proclaimed “big nerd” and “very part-time artist” stuck some tasty treats, including “peanuts, chicken scraps, mealworms, and dog kibble,” underneath a MAGA hat.

“Once they were coming regularly, it was only about three months to get them to the hat removal stage,” biz_dave wrote.

    Reminds me of that dude that gave that TED talk years ago on crows.

    Anyway, it’d be great if a whole bunch of bird breeds could be trained to shit on that fascist gear.

    Corvids are wicked smart. They can be taught lots of things. They even understand the concepts of currency and gifts.

      And it will reinforce itself because the redcaps will get pissed off and attack the crows to try to defend themselves. The crows will interpret this as withholding the treat and they’ll go harder, escalating the rivalry. They will develop a grudge.

      But then the conman in chief will just sell camo hats or something and make even more money off his marks.
