That would be a murder, and yes, it’s social.
Marge Simpson: [Homer is naming off the crows in his bedroom] Homer, I’m not sure I’m comfortable sleeping with a group of crows in the bedroom in the night.
Homer Simpson: It’s a murder, honey. A group of crows is called a murder.
Marge Simpson: I’m going to go sleep on the couch tonight.
That’s a magpie.
A jackdaw is a crow
It’s not a jackdaw nor a magpie, it’s a hooded crow. And to the OP, I recommend befriending crows, I now have my own air support.
Holy shit. You are correct and living up to your name. I didn’t even know about that species. When I first saw your response I thought you were just fucking around and continuing the joke. Just looks a lot like the magpies that are plentiful in my area. But the grey versus white definitely sets them apart. Thanks sacredbirdman. Any other cool bird facts to share?
I also recommend befriending crows. And magpies.
Well, I’m not sure if these are cool but I find them pretty cool :D Crows, unline many other animals, recognize humans by their faces like we do and they can remember at least dozens of individuals. They stash food in different places. Sometimes crows spy on others and go steal food from their stashes. Those who have gotten their food stolen will move their stashes. Crows can also use tools.
