Could there ever be anything better than this: a crow-operated vending machine? It rewards crows who put coins in it: they get snacks. At first coins will be left around for them to pick up. But eventually the crows will have to search out the coins. And if I may add my own 'eventually', eventually they will learn to steal coins.

But they could only do search and rescue for small shiny people in trouble, or collect small shiny garbage. I didn't think aluminum foil littering was the biggest problem facing humanity.

The use to which they could be put, Katharine, is the same as Fagin's gang of pickpockets.
