Once you understand where the homeowner himself was coming from, it becomes pretty clear that he was just trying to feed the neighborhood crows and to form a bond with them. Obviously, this is kind of a strange desire, given that most residents likely would prefer to keep all of the crows off of their respective lawns. However, to each his own, right?
The homeowner even expressed his attempt at explaining himself to another neighbor, but the other guy was unwilling to shift his perception that the homeowner was in some kind of wizard cult. The homeowner’s observation of the neighbor’s reaction to him was astute. Some people are convinced of a narrative and are then unable to shake it, even if they are given information that contradicts said narrative.
In other words, the damage seems to have already been done. Everyone thinks this guy is out of his mind, and there doesn’t seem to be much he can do about it besides ceasing to feed the crows.
