I thought Crows were just scavengers. Damn thing picked it up and tried two or three times to fly away with it and the rabbit squirmed out of its grasp each time. Quite the life and death struggle.

Re: Can we please just try to not suck game thread?
I was sitting in my car one time, having lunch, watching a crow and squirrel fight with each other. The crow eventually scared off the (adult) squirrel long enough to reach into some nearby weeds and pull a baby squirrel out.
The crow proceeded to peck the baby squirrel to death and eat it bit by bit, occasionally stopping to fend off the mother squirrel.
It was a disturbing reminder how lucky we are that birds aren't larger than humans. I like birds, but they're super a-holes.

Crows are fairly smart and can work as teams to harrass and drive away competitors like hawks and eagles. I have also seen them stealing food from seagulls. They seem to be much more widespread now than when i was growing up. I remember seeing a massive number of them hanging around the site of the Longacres race track in Renton several years ago. Literally tens of thousands.

I know he was just trying to survive but when it comes down to a crow vs. a baby rabbit I am going to side with the rabbit. Go find some road kill, pal.Jack Merridew wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 10:14 pmCrows are fairly smart and can work as teams to harrass and drive away competitors like hawks and eagles.
