Crow Facts

Crows are omnivores. They eat nearly anything. Crows eat small animals such as mammals, amphibians, reptiles, eggs and carrion. They also eat insects, seeds, grains, nuts, fruit, non-insect arthropods, mollusks, worms and even other birds.
The common crow usually lives for about seven years. However some have lived as long as 14 years in the wild.
Crows have the biggest brain to body ratio among all bird species. Evolved with a highly developed forebrain where intelligence is regulated, the anatomy of the crow brain is similar to humans.
A study conducted in 2004 revealed that crows are more clever than Bonobo monkeys. This fact makes them the most intelligent creatures after humans.
Most Crow species have single mate for their entire life and after hatching the eggs, both male and female take turn to incubate them. On an average, they lay about 4-7 eggs.
