The Crows
The Crow
The Crows
Black, sleek, robust
Cawing speakers of nature
Fiercely family loyal
Winging wit and intelligence
Their caws echo around the woods, near clearings and around the neighborhoods. Adaptable and social, the sleek, black crows soar and dive as they seek any morsel. They live in family groups and mate for life. Often young siblings return to the parents’ nest in subsequent years to help in the rearing of new broods. After they have been boosted from the nest, the fledglings practice bush flight before they take to the higher branches. This makes them vulnerable prey – until they get their “wings”. Once aloft, their keen eyes and agility keep them from most dangers.
Their sleek, black feathers and peering black eyes give them a menacing appearance that belies their more social and affable nature. In flocks, they skitter about playfully. When searching for food, they dive and soar with purpose. They are territorial and may often return to the same nesting site year after year. Their proportioned, black legs allow them to hop quickly as they canvas fields. The clean up crew, the crows are scavengers and with their varied diet and quick responsiveness have traits that allow them to survive even harsh conditions. They are considered among the most intelligent of wild birds.
"Method is more important than strength, when you wish to control your enemies. By dropping golden beads near a snake, a crow once managed To have a passer-by kill the snake for the beads."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
