Crows are amongst the most intelligent birds in the animal kingdom. These birds possess higher cognition skills, which allow them to solve complex problems and plan their future tasks. Their response to death is another unique feature that distinguishes them from the rest of the animal kingdom.
If a crow spots a fallen comrade, it raises an alarm call to alert the other members of the “murder”. A mob of crows then settles down on the branches to observe the corpse, watching and contemplating. They break into intense cawing, as if grieving the death of their fallen brother.
After they have choked themselves with shrill cries, they sit in silence, watching over the corpse for several minutes. If they spot a predator approaching the dead crow, the birds resort to mobbing behaviors, diving over the predator and scolding them away.
