 | It is easy in our cities to forget the larger natural environment that is our true home. Victoria is perhaps more blessed than many cities since most streets are tree-lined, and there are lots of small parks and plenty of avid gardeners, but I am always particularly pleased to see wild animals co-existing with us in urban settings since they remind us that we are not the only inhabitants of this planet. This crow seemed to be a little doubtful when I first approached him for a photo but then he settled down and provided me with the nice profile above. Wikipedia has a good article about crows and how intelligent they are. And, not suprisingly, crows have their own website, www.crows.net, where you can learn about their language and culture. |

Nice post Benjamin, I may not be a fan of the crow, like magpies the rob nests of the songbirds, but I do find them interesting. Anyone who has ever heard and watched a crow, crowing to the world at large and perhaps also at you will know what I mean.
I saw a play here in Yorkshire some years back entitled "Crow", it was all about the crow.

very good text and beautiful pictures! I´m always trying to find some wild life in my city too, fortunatelay here we can find them.
I like crows. I know I'm in the minority but they are super smart, completely hilarious and interesting to watch. Better yet - ravens. Now THERE is some entertainment.
Awesome photos. Thank you.
I don't mind the crows except when they dive bomb us, still that is protection mode for them and their young.
Cheers,
