(See Crow 1 post from earlier today)

The crow’s brain-mass per body-volume ratio is the largest of any bird except the macaw (a very intelligent animal) and their behavioral blueprint is more akin to primates than other birds. Crows are analytical beings with long-term, reliable memories. Their communal interactions have a sophistication that echoes humanity’s: they; generally mate for life, enjoy group activities (play), hunt, carry out gang-style executions, and perform funerals.
