Corvids all do this. And they tell the others.

We had a problem for a few years with ravens punching holes in the tops of grain bags and letting rain and snow in. My cousin shot one from across the yard and threw the pieces on top of the bag. There was a raven funeral for about a day, and we haven't had a raven pick a hole in a grain in the decade since.

I've seen the same thing happen with magpies when a cat gets one. The other magpies will gather to scream at the cat for a couple of days, but they'll pack up and move after that.

That's oral history in my book. I wonder what the first equivalent of the Odyssey will be translated.

I guess the 6 weeks is the duration of the study?

Because crows remember things like this for generations.

So if I'm trying to help a dying or dead crow I stumble upon, I may become Enemy #1 to the crows nearby?

Crap.

My grandfather once shot a crow in sri lanka, back in the days; he had to hide inside because of the "crow police".

No joke! Like 10 to 50 crows were coming and attacking, he told (I was not yet alive when it happened)

That's why it's called "a murder of crows" when a group of crows gather.
