What is a "crow"?

A crow is a highly intelligent and adaptable bird found in various parts of the world. Known for its glossy black feathers and distinct cawing calls, the crow is often associated with mystery and intelligence. With its strong beak and keen eyesight, the crow is a skilled forager, capable of scavenging for a wide range of food including carrion, insects, small mammals, and even plant matter. Crows are highly social creatures and are often seen in large groups, known as murderers, where they engage in complex social interactions and cooperative behaviors. Their ability to problem-solve and use tools has been well-documented, highlighting their remarkable cognitive abilities. Despite being occasionally depicted as symbols of misfortune, crows play an important ecological role as scavengers and seed dispersers.
