Holy Cow! What are those crows up to? Is this their form of Mcdonalds? While travelling around the Bodrum Penninsula, near Bitez but actually up in Sandima, the abandoned town where some cows roam free and the crows take care of their beauty needs. But are these crows snacking on pests the cow might be housing in their fur? No i don't think so...These smart birds are up to something totally different. What do you think they are up to? I shall respond to all thoughts and comments on this....Cheers and have a great year esp if you subscribe to my Channel.
More Crow info...Crows /kroÊŠ/ form the genus Corvus in the family Corvidae. Ranging in size from the relatively small pigeon-size jackdaws (Eurasian and Daurian) to the Common Raven of the Holarctic region and Thick-billed Raven of the highlands of Ethiopia, the 40 or so members of this genus occur on all temperate continents except for South America, and several islands. In Europe the word "crow" is used to refer to the Carrion Crow or the Hooded Crow, while in North America it is used for the American Crow or the Northwestern Crow.
The crow genus makes up a third of the species in the Corvidae family. Crows appear to have evolved in Asia from the corvid stock, which had evolved in Australia. The collective name for a group of crows is a flock or, more poetically, a murder.[1]
Recent research has found some crow species capable of not only tool use but also tool construction.[2] Crows are now considered to be among the world's most intelligent animals[3] with brain size (adjusted for body size) as large as some apes. The Jackdaw and the European Magpie have been found to have a nidopallium approximately the same relative size as the functionally equivalent neocortex in chimpanzees and humans, and significantly larger than is found in the gibbon.[4]
