Over the summer my partner taught our local gang of crows that if they come to our house in the morning and the afternoon and make some noise, she'd come out and throw them peanuts and meal worms. We're not on petting them terms, but we've got an understanding. :D

Actually, I'd love a generalized countdown clock. Not necessarily for my lifespan, but set it up for goals like, "My side project will be profitable in 2 months."

They exist. I use one that counts down to anniversaries, birthdays, and project milestones. It's not good enough to merit mentioning, but if you search the app store for 'countdown', you'll find several.
