I have a few families that visit me around my home and some at work. There's a distinct family that's easy to recognize because one of them has a wounded wing but still manages to fly. They just recently had a fledgling that left the nest because it's flying around with them squawking for food all the time these days.
There are a number of people in the area that feed the local crows a variety of different foods—cat treats, peanuts, and whatever people toss from the local restaurants.
Yeah, all corvids are fair game here. The quote they commented to you is the beginning of a copypasta rant that someone did about jackdaws, crows, and corvids.
It's actually worse. I use both in different contexts. Fahrenheit for weather and climate control because that's what all the forecasts and thermostats use, but then some of the equipment I work with like Czech or Chinese 3D printers use Celsius.
I do use milimeters more often than inches when doing design work for 3D modeling or laser cutting because it's a lot easier.
Flirtation is a lot easier and more comfortable when you know the person already likes you. And it can seem creepy to them if they don't already like you. So it might be good to not flirt until you're confident it will be well received and in the meantime just be friendly and sincere. An important aspect of potential relationships is not appearing as if you think someone's only value is if they're a potential partner. People talk to and know other people, so treating everyone well can improve chances of potential partners thinking well of you. Sometimes the best thing you can do to find a partner is to work on yourself.
There are a lot of hobbies you can get into that can be started with little or not cost, or with equipment/materials you already own.
Figure out what interests you and see what can be done inexpensively.
With a phone or computer, there's writing, music, programming, learning new skills, Wikipedia, Pinterest, et al. Maybe take your phone and start photographing stuff in your area that interests you.
Find someone who has experience in an area you're interested in. People tend to like to talk about their hobbies and interests and they can tell you how easy or difficult it is to get started. They might even be able to help you get started.
Maybe find a volunteer opportunity that helps pad your resume. Like animals? Volunteer at a local shelter.
There are a bunch of job certifications you can train for online that can also help build your resume.
Nice try, HR.

I coordinate an academic makerspace at a college.
And now the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.
One of my hobbies is designing typefaces. I started designing a crow-inspired typeface a couple of years ago that I haven't resumed working on yet.
The larger size of their bills is very distinct compared to American crows. And sure enough they're called large-billed crows. The videos I've found show they have much deeper voices than American crows. It looks like the carrion crows of Japan are more like American crows.
