GoTra is not reliable enough for translations into certain "complex" languages ​​and often even when trying to better address the concept it seems that it remains stubborn in its incorrect version of the translation.

It is probably a subtle nod to Alfred Hitchcock.

Not a corvid (somewhat related to the butcherbird), they've been witnessed teaming up to take down corvids...

Every sign has it‘s original story.
I ask myself how these silly humans treated the Crows beforehand so that it became neccesary to put this sign.

Crows are extremely intelligent. A friend of mine used to feed the crows that perched on the edge of the roof for a while. Then he got tired of it and started throwing small stones at them. The birds would follow him along the gutter. And whenever he got within range, they would poop on him.

Never mess with a Crow!

The English translation is sub-optimal.

Google translates the German text more accurately as "WARNING! Danger from attacking crows."

I assume Krähen is German for Crows. Krager in Danish.

Is this correct?
