Yet the haibane themselves are scavengers. They are only allowed to have things second hand, things that have been cast away by humans.

What did that have to do with anything?

Spoiler:

I believe it was mainly Kana who appeared to be antagonistic towards the crows: she was shooing them away from the garbage because she did not want them to become dependent on that source of food; instead she wanted them to remain free to leave the city. It's interesting that Reki defends the crows ?unconsciously indicating her reluctance to leave the city?
