Crows | April 10, 2008

Easily the smartest of the free-flying birds. Dumbest being the pigeons. After cats crows (House Crow – Corvus splendens) are the most independent creatures that share our space and food. They are very choosy about what they eat. No scattered grain and a few leftovers. Crows are, I think, brighter than dogs. They don’t exhibit their brightness and get chained up and made slaves to us humans, like the dog did!

Another strange thing about crows. A friend once pointed it out to me. Considering the number of crows around our cities and villages, how many times have you seen a dead crow? That got me. I don’t remember too many in all my years. Where do they go to die? Is this like that fabled elephant graveyard thing!
