Crow Help

[Raven]

i spook all my crows.....

the minute they start squawking in the big tree's
i go out on the deck and crow right back at them
and off they go.....

they enjoy chasing after owls and hawks
because theirs no foliage to hide them and the birds of prey
are quite vulnerable.... at this time of year......

as they are the crows and Raven's only natural enemy

so if you went over to a "wood lot" a quarter mile away
and set up a recording of a hawk or owl fight with crows
you'd draw them over there like it was MAGIC....

Maybe you could advertise this as a service Raven.

most people don't know that they are one of the few bird species
that actually hunt their prey in unison using a group strategy ,the same as wolves
and it probably evolved by crows observing wolves and imitating them.

they have a strategy that is extremely intelligent as they have figured out how to push an animal such as a rabbit right into the claws of some other crows waiting to Ambush then they share the carcass.

I get a kick out of watching the crows harrass a hawk.
You would think that the hawk wouldn't back down, but the crows are relentless. They will take turns attacking, like wolves or hyenas, so that there will always be one attacker that will be able to strike freely.

And of course you might think that the hawk could seek refuge in amongst the tree branches, and you'd be wrong! The crows can manuever through branches at high speeds. The crows are pretty much the bullies of the bird world.

When a crow comes to your bird feeder, it may feed if you are using corn kernals or peanuts, otherwise they may have follwed their prey and stopped when they noticed other birds in the area.

Although we don't get them in large numbers, you can definitely hear them when they roost. I particularly like their "clicking" sound (it was used in "Jurassic Park for the veloceraptors.)

Heck, I saw a opossum Saturday night while out looking at the full moon. Man, that thing was HUGE, but at least it wasn't a raccoon or a skunk.

I always found that a 20 gauge took out a crow perfectly
