Crows are companions-to-hunters (wolves and humans mostly.) They interpret your behavior through that "lens".

If you set out food and then watch them that means (in crow) that you are a hunter, and a lousy one, and you're trying to hunt them.

Toss out some food and "forget" it and they'll think you're such a successful hunter that you don't even need to every scrap. Someone worth knowing.

In the old days, crows would go on the hunt with us and fly over hidden game in the bush dipping a wing in a certain way to let you know where it is, then you share the meat with them. They still remember even if most of us have forgotten. ;)
