The crow plays the role of an orderly, destroying carrion and reducing the number of insects and rodents.
The raven is one of the few birds capable of performing maneuvers similar to aviation aerobatic maneuvers.
The lifespan of a raven in the wild is 10-15 years.
In captivity, these birds can live much longer. There are cases where individuals in captivity lived up to 75 years.
One of the distinctive abilities of ravens is the ability to establish correct cause-and-effect relationships.
Thus, they not only make their lives easier, but also amaze researchers.
For example, the crows were able to guess how to quickly and safely open a found nut.
The bird takes it in its beak and flies up on the road.
Ornithologists have found that the evolutionary success of the genus is associated with long wings, which allow them to spread over long distances, and large body and brain sizes, which help them gain a foothold in a new place.
Crows are city orderlies. They eat rotting food waste and carrion, thereby reducing the amount of food for rats and mice, which sometimes cause more harm to humans.
They also destroy weak chicks and sick birds, which is quite natural for wild nature.
Previously, we talked about interesting facts about ants.
