| Re: Crow behaviour
Most of the corvids are capable of killing other birds, I've seen Jackdaws take young sparrows. The lapwing near us have chicks at the moment and the crows are really hammering them, ignoring the mobbing parents.
We're also well into lambing, and as any farmer will tell you, as soon as a sheep is on its back or struggling with a lamb, the crows will come down and peck their eyes out, and then start on the tongue. Not pleasant.
