This is slightly unfair as it would be possible to say that all species are threats to other species, especially between scavenger/predator species. There may be an overabundance of crows and, if there is then it means one of two things (or both); a) That they are manifesting themselves as keepers of sacred law, and harbingers of great change and/or b) That there is an imbalance in the local ecosystem which has allowed them to overpopulate. I might suggest that their over-population is now threatened by the growing number of red-tail hawks, falcons and owls moving into the city. These things will take care of themselves as long as we keep our parks and waters clean.
