Crows are one of the most interesting of the bird world. They are the most social of birdom and it is so intriguing to watch them. I call my place "The Crow's Nest". My DD made me a wall hanging with a crow's nest with 3 babies and the Mom and Dad coming in to feed them.

I know some people consider them to be pests but I love them. We have several crows that live in our neighborhood, and there's a threesome that share a nest in our neighbor's tall pine tree. I did a little research and found out that the "extra" bird is probably an older child, hanging around Mom & Dad's nest to help out with the new babies. Neat!!
They snatch dog food from our dog's bowl sometimes. I don't even mind, it's too amusing to watch one of them distract the dog while the other one swoops in to steal from her. And she can afford to share a little with her avian neighbors!

His a cutie! Another fact about crows is that they mate for life. When a crow dies the others in the flock gather and put twigs, grasses etc. on the deceased. Then they gather around and chatter to each other for a spell. They are fascinating as are so many things in our natural world. Congratulations on receiving Corbin into your flock.
