    The living habits of crows

    The intelligence of crows is also outstanding among birds and is known as the 'smartest bird'. The brain weight of new crow accounts for 3 % of their body weight, while the human brain only accounts for 2-2.3 % of their body weight. Crows can not only use tools, but also transmit information through the language system, which enhances their socialization.

    Crows like to roost in groups, with strong clustering, and a group of up to tens of thousands. They live in groups in the woods or between the fields. They are forest grassland birds, mainly foraging on the ground, and their gait is stable. Except for a few species, they often nest in groups and roam in mixed groups in autumn and winter. The behavior is complex, showing strong intellectual and social activities.

    The general character is fierce, aggressive habits, often prey on waterfowl, wading in the nest eggs and chicks. Some caged crows for fun will ' talk ', and some laboratory-reared crows can learn to count to 3 or 4, and can find marked food in the box. Crows are omnivorous and eat grains, berries, insects, carrion and other birds ' eggs. Many species like to eat carrion, which is harmful to seedlings and grains. During the breeding period, it mainly feeds on small vertebrates, locusts, mole crickets, tortoise shells and moth larvae, which is beneficial to agriculture. It can eliminate the pollution of animal carcasses to the environment and play a role in purifying the environment because it likes to rot and peck agricultural waste.

    Who is the 'Raptor'? Crow dare to single-handedly expel the eagle!

    In the air, an eagle is flying. As the king of the air, the eagle has a very strong ability to fly. It thinks that the sky is allowed to fly, but it does not know that there is a 'stalker' -crow behind it.

    The eagle 's eyes are very sharp, can see thousands of meters or even farther away, but forget the danger from behind. Finally, the eagle found behind the movement, the eagle and the crow formed a confrontation, to start fighting! The crow is the largest bird in the Passeriformes, with a body length of about 50 centimeters. The eagle is a small raptor, but it is also larger than the crow. It seems that the eagle as a raptor should occupy more advantages. It is said that the eagle does not dare to provoke the crow, because the crow will attack the eagle in groups, and the eagle can 't fight with four hands, but this time, the eagle can 't help facing a crow, because the crow will always fly to the top of the eagle, avoid the eagle attack, focus on the weakness of the eagle, and begin to attack! The crow and the eagle formed a chase battle, but this time the crow took the advantage and chased the eagle. Who is the 'Raptor'? The crow dared to single-handedly expel the eagle, so that the eagle did not fight back! The crow drives the eagle far away. Of course, the crow can win the eagle, but it is not easy to hunt the eagle alone. If the eagle is driven out of the crow 's territory, the crow will not continue to pursue!

    Raptors such as eagles are generally reluctant to provoke crows, because crows are group life, plus crows are the most intelligent birds, know siege warfare, and even can be said that eagle and other raptors are afraid of crows.

    The reason why the crow attacks the eagleThe Crow's natural enemy is the Eagle

    There are many natural enemies of crows, most of which are large raptors, such as eagle and sparrow hawk, because most hawks have a pair of very sharp claws and beaks, which can not only directly tear the skin and flesh of prey, but also have very good vision. Even a mouse in the field can hardly escape its eyes.

    Crows are very intelligent birds, they often hunt or move thousands of times. And they're hard to catch, and there's very little meat, so there's basically not much natural enemy, but the eagle is its big star. However, this is only for one or two lonely crows. After all, the eagle is unable to resist the fight.

    As the king of birds, the eagle has reached the position of top predator, so basically no one can escape from the palm of its hand, even the snake 's natural enemies are it, and its diet is also very extensive, such as snakes, mice, rabbits and so on. Even a shelled turtle can be easily captured, and a crow can become its plate meal. After all, at a height of thousands of kilometers, an eagle can lock its target at a glance.

    The only bird that dares to attack an eagle is a crow. In order to do this, the crow will sit on the back of the eagle and bite its neck. However, the eagle will not fight back against the crow at this time; it will not waste time and energy. It just opens its wings and gets higher and higher in the sky. The higher it flies, the harder it is for the crow to breathe: eventually the crow will fall because of lack of oxygen and will not waste time with the crow.

    The reason why eagles dare not provoke crows

    The reason why crows dare to provoke raptors, on the one hand, is that they are smart enough to judge the situation and remember vengeance; on the other hand, it is because they always act collectively, with quantitative advantages and peer cooperation against powerful opponents.

    As the king of birds, the eagle has stood at the position of the top predator, so basically no one can escape from the palm of its hand, and the eagle's feeding habits are very extensive, such as snakes, mice, rabbits, etc., and even the shelled turtle can be easily taken down. After all, in thousands of kilometers of altitude, the eagle can lock the target at a glance, and dive, grasp and nibble at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

    Crows are very intelligent birds, and often thousands of prey or activities, coupled with the crow is very flexible, more difficult to capture, so basically there are not too many natural enemies, but the eagle is its big star, but this is only for one or two crows alone, after all, the eagle is also unable to resist.
