Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows: (137) New Study Says Unfairness Really Ruffles Crows' Feathers
http://kromakhy.blogspot.com/2013/06/137-new-study-says-unfairness-really_17.html
Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows. 137) New Study Says Unfairness Really Ruffles Crows' Feathers. A new experiment found crows and ravens have a sense of fairness, just like people and dogs. Other research has suggested that a sense of equity evolved several times in unrelated animals, the University of Vienna researchers write. Knowing what's fair is linked to cooperative behavior in species, they say, and that makes sense with crows and ravens, which form alliances and share food and information.

Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows. 134) Crows capable of a coordinated attack and hunt. Crows are one of the few animals not only not afraid of fire, but even using it.

Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows. 135) Attack of the killer ravens. Attack of the killer ravens: Flocks are suddenly slaughtering lambs - what is going on? By JANE FRYER, 4 May 2008. High in the darkening sky, a flock of enormous ravens swoop and swirl - narrow black wings stretched wide, heads protruding forward and huge hairy beaks scything through the air. But forget dormice, voles or even small furry rabbits; these sinister looking birds are feasting on something far larger - newborn lambs. Somet...

Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows: (129) How a crow fools a dog
http://kromakhy.blogspot.com/2012/08/129-how-crow-fools-dog.html
Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows. 129) How a crow fools a dog. I once watched something unbelievable:. A crow wanted to eat the food that was in front of a chained dog on a barnyard. So he hopped to the dog but stayed out of its reach. Then he walked circles around the pole the dog was chained to, so the chain got wound up and thus shorter and shorter. Then finally the crow walked calm and relaxed to the food and started eating while the dog was barking his lungs out, lol. The Way of Wyrd.

Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows: (132) Crows can count - at least to 16
http://kromakhy.blogspot.com/2013/05/132-crows-can-count-at-least-to-16.html
Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows. 132) Crows can count - at least to 16. Crows can count - at least to 16. A farmer in England found that every day he went in his blind in the field, the crows would stay away. But once he had left, they would fly into the fields and feed. He brought a friend with him one day to follow him into the blind, thinking the crows would spot one of them leaving and then come down to eat at the crops, thinking that no one was watching.

Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows: (136) As The Crow Flies
http://kromakhy.blogspot.com/2013/06/136-as-crow-flies.html
Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows. 136) As The Crow Flies. The term "As The Crow Flies" came from British coastal vessels that customarily carried a cage of crows. Crows detest large expanses of water and head, as straight as a crow flies, towards the nearest land if released at sea - very useful if you were unsure of the nearest land when sailing in foggy waters before the days of radar. The lookout perch on sailing vessels thus became known as the crow's nest. Thuleheim - Wanderings of a Wise Woman.

Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows: (133) Can crows read?
http://kromakhy.blogspot.com/2013/05/133-can-crows-read.html
Kromakhy, Master of Ravens and Crows. 133) Can crows read? Crows can recognise and ascribe numerical meaning to symbols, a new study shows, suggesting that the unusually intelligent birds may be able to read numbers and simple icons. Crows are known for their extraordinarily good memories, tool-making skills and ability to discern minute subtleties in judging a threat level. It was reported earlier this year that the US military considered using crows to help track down al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

Research on scrub jays and anecdotal observations of other corvids shows a large reaction to a dead member of their species-. A study just out on funerals held by scrub jays has generated a lot of discussion about what these noisy gatherings of jays around fallen members of their species represent or mean. Is it a mourning and/or farewell? Why does it amaze pe...
