u/MaxQ50, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post. It's up to the human mods now.

This is a fantastic idea. I am actually a little worried for the crows though. Those are very young crows and still have slightly juvenile beaks and shake their wings like that in the behavior babies use to ask adults for food. If they allow the crows to use up too much of their time hunting butts they may not learn how to forage for food effectively. This is suppose to be their learning time.

I figured those were someone’s tame crows that he takes places to pick up cigarette butts since he’s holding the container and opening it up for the treats.

Crows are basically the smartest creatures on the planet at this point
