=Crows, the Masters of Intelligence = = = = = =Introduction = Crows are beautiful and intelligent birds. I had a few questions about them that I was interested in answering. My first question is What do crows eat? My second question is How do crows migrate? My third question is Can crows learn? I learned a lot about crows, and I hope you do too!

= = = = = =What do crows eat? =

To tell you the truth, crows will eat just about anything that's possible. Usually they eat nuts, seeds, berries and small animals. They will also eat garbage and small sea creatures.

Crows are predators to many other birds. They will eat Sparrow, Robin, and other bird eggs. It is very interesting to watch crows eat. They have a very unique way of eating. They feel the food with their beak before they eat it. Once I saw a crow using it 's beak as a knife. It was very interesting.

=How do Crows Migrate? =

Crows migrate in groups of thousands, so if you see a gigantic group of crows eating, they're most likely taking a break from migrating. When crows fly, they are constantly flapping, and occasionally, they will glide.

= = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = =Can Crows Learn? = Crows are very intelligent animals. Many people have done experiments to see if they can learn. Crows can definitely learn! They can learn from us and each other.

One example of crows learning is that one crow once learned how to crack nuts using cars. He waited for a car to run over the nut, and when the crossing signal went, he went to get the nut. Eventually, more and more crows started using this unique strategy, and now it's become a regular thing. That's only one example of crows learning, and I'm hoping to provide another one. I'm hoping that I can teach a crow to do something useful by this spring. Wish me luck!

Because of their intelligence, maybe you can even make friends with them. I hope you learned a lot!

<span style="color: #4a0080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">P.S. If you see a nut on the road, make sure you run over it! <span style="color: #4a0080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">
