Crows and a function for Scarecrows

Introducing Crows as a new neutral mob could be fun, and give the Scarecrow a function beside being a decorative structure. If a Crow dies, there's a chance to spawn multiple hostile crows in a vicinity that attack the killer. Amd crows do not go near 10 block radius of a scarecrow structure. Also Crows could attack zombies because crows usually eat corpses of other dead animals.

    a few suggestions:

    •  one crow must fly over a pack of wolves, as in the real world they form a symbiosis.
    •  crows must steal gold drops (ingots, nuggets, swords, etc. everything that shines).
    •  crows should attack your crops (yes, unfortunately there is no corn in minecraft).
    •  also crows should avoid not only the "scarecrow", but also the armor stands, dressed in armor.

    I vote for crows, yes, they're nice. At this point almost animal added to the game is a good addition, as long as it has an use or reason to be. However I am not sure this crow eating zombie mechanic would work or be very realistic, because I believe crows are creatures of the day mostly and zombies we know only come at night, so they wouldn't meet often.
    They could breed on their own - like someone else suggested that rabbits should do - when eating wheat crops, and  become hostile when feeding. That would force us to attack them in self defense and then as you say trigger these several other crows to spawn in the vicinity that would not trigger the effect again but would drop black feathers when killed. These feathers could be used to make... make better arrows? And maybe a Potion of the Tracker that highlight enemies around the player the same way as the glowing arrow does.Alternatively we could tame a crow that would sit up high and give us this effect anyway.

    BTW guys, carrion is less than 5% of a crows diet.
    But yes, they should totally have a symbiosis with wolves! Even though thats more of a raven thing.

    Ill put my suggestion for crows here since I think it fits well with your post.

    Crows but realistic (so they're as smart as 5yo)
