Hi Lee and Tweeters,

I don't have crows but the Jays will fly away at the sound of my voice. The
smaller feeder birds don't seem to be afraid though.

The opposite happens when I talk to the chipmunks, they will come right up
to the screen door, even putting their paws on it, listening to me talk.
