Did you know that some crows never mate but instead choose to live their lives as "helpers" to the murder, assisting in the raising of the young. Talk about selfless!LaBonBonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233812331547806817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4857152676584894478.post-75844910222147052252013-05-16T15:30:33.876-05:002013-05-16T15:30:33.876-05:00i too used to have the same opinion of crows. i th...i too used to have the same opinion of crows. i thought they were bullies, scavengers and let's face it..bad luck. Then several years ago I witnessed, just as you described, a huge flock of crows coming out of nowhere and chasing off a hawk. More recently i witnessed 15-20 crows trying to chase off a Bald Eagle (needless to say the Bald Eagle was not fazed)I also learned what good parents crows are and how their offspring stay with them for years and help take care of the new offspring. I think they have a bad rap, but now i look at them just like any other bird and i see nothing but beauty :)chandel314https://www.blogger.com/profile/15142179641829298375noreply@blogger.com
