Crows are intelligent birds who serve an important role in our eco-system.
Crows mate for life and form life-long relationships with friends, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents. The groups you see on your lawn or in your trees are not random groupings -- they're FAMILIES. Crows are more intelligent than dogs, pigs, and even more intelligent than primates -- crows can MAKE their own tools, rather than simply using existing items AS tools. While a chimpanzee might poke a stick into tree stump to get some bugs to eat, the crow will take an existing item and bend and shape it to work better, to accommodate the situation.
