In India visiting Crows considered as reborn spirits of dead ancestors.

Ashish, it is sort of mainstream now... even in Singapore, tourists go to big parks like McRitchie reservoir park just to see and feed the monkeys to make a couple of nice shots.

then again, in some asian places, monkeys are the reborn spirits of the dead it is considered good luck to offer them gifts.
