My roommate showed me on awesome video over on ted.com This guy is making a vending machine for crows. crowboxunleashed.com is the site to read up on it.
I think it's an awesome idea. If we had more than grackle's here, I would want to build one. But I don't think grackle's are quite clever enough for it.
What I loved most about watching his video is Betty the New Caledonian crow. I already knew New Caledonian's were tool users, but I was blown away when Betty made a hook out of a bit of wire to get a treat out of a container. It was freakily awesome.
But I'm a zoo nerd like that.
It's true that when you venture in this business you would still have time for your personal and social life. It's very low maintenance in all aspects.
