Description
Pencil Study of the crow, its beak, talons, feathers and wing.
Crows live in large, close-knit families, and, like social mammals, they not only hunt and forage together but also defend territories and care for the young together. . Each mating pair has its own nest of sticks and twigs, usually high up in a tree. There are laid five or six greenish-to-olive eggs, with darker speckles
. As winter approaches, northern crows gather into large night-roosting groups. These flocks can include tens of thousands of birds and occasionally hundreds of thousands. Possible reasons for this seasonal gregariousness are warmth, protection against predators such as owls, or information exchange. A crow may live 13 years in the wild and more than 20 years in captivity.
Highly intelligent, crows can be masterful mimics. They have been trained to count aloud up to seven, ; others have been known to mimic their owners voices in order to call dogs and taunt horses
