Info on Crows

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.  Crow Coalition continued
