Family life - Crows are very social in nature. Interaction with their own kind is extremely important to them. The male will fluff his feathers, strut, and fly by, in his attempts to win over the female. Once mated, crows usually mate for life. Not only will crows defend and protect their own family, but they will come to the aid of unrelated crows in need or distress.
Crows are cooperative breeders.
Both crow parents take turns sitting on the eggs. All family members help in the care of the brood. As nesting season arrives, the juveniles from prior years, along with their parents, will help gather nesting material. The number of eggs in a clutch is usually 4 to 6. Intelligence - Crows are extremely intelligent, quite possibly the most intelligent of all birds.
