As crow researchers at the Lab of Ornithology, you are probably uniquely qualified to answer this question:

Why are there so many crows here in Ithaca?

I think a lot of the downvoters are coming from folks exposed primarily to C-derived languages, where !=, not !==, means "not equal to", and to them the use of !== looks like a mistake.

In fact, I can't think of a language which uses !== for "not equal to". I even went to the "99 bottles of beer" page on rosettacode.org (since that's very likely to include inequality in its implementations) and searched for '!=='. None of the 202 languages on that page used !==.

So unless you can provide better evidence, I don't think !== means "not equal to" in computer programming.
