Ha we had a pet crow as kids same thing. Show up at window cawing for food at the crack of dawn....steal shiny objects car keys.....we’d ride our bikes down a hill and you’d hear a flap flap and he’d land on your head. His name was Malcom. A local farmer who didn’t like us shot him. So we shot his dog. True story.

It is illegal to kill a scavenger bird in ANY state. They are smart and immune from all disease.

Oh yes, I forgot about Roscoe stealing shiny objects. The neighbors would sit out in their yard and drink ice tea, Roscoe would steal their iced tea spoons. Years later his hidey hole was found up on a neighbors roof. He was fun!

Yea we have no shortage either but I think we have a season on crows

Not like coyotes where its anytime

Crows are smart but they make good target practice

But since I respect them a bit we take our bloodlust out on starlings

Anyone pity the ubiquitous starling needs to join PETA SS

Crow ‘seasons’ aren’t usually to protect crows. During hunting seasons for other species, some states restrict crow killing to make it easier to enforce other hunting regulations or simply for safety reasons.

what is the difference between the common raven and a crow?

How does one differentiaate between a raven and a crow?

[JoeProBono]

Ravens differ from crows in appearance by their larger bill, tail shape, flight pattern and by their large size. Ravens are as big as Red-tailed Hawks, and crows are about the size of pigeons.

The raven is all black, has a 3.5-4 ft wingspan and is around 24-27 inches from head to tail. The crow is also black, has a 2.5 ft wingspan and is about 17 inches long. The raven weighs around 40 oz while the crow is 20 oz - half the weight of a raven.

The raven has highly glossed plumage showing iridescent greens, blues, and purples. Sometimes the feathers have an oily or wet sheen. Crows also have feathers with iridescent purple and blue, but with less sheen than the raven.

Ravens are uncommon in populated urban areas. If you see a “really big crow” in the city, the chances are good that it really is a crow and not a raven.......

A raven can be up to twice the size of a crow (24"-30"), with a heavy black beak and shaggy feathers around the throat. Their sound making ability is amazing, they can bark, meow, whistle, make a sound like rain hitting leaves, and a gulping noise that is really weird.
We have a small group, or "unkindness" of ravens in our rural area (south Puget Sound) that pass thru every so often.
Not to take anything away from crows, some of them go dining at low tide by picking up a clam and dropping it on rocks from 50 feet up. I've seen seagull to the same thing but don't know which species copied the other one.
Having never seen a grackle, I had to look it up at a great web site called allaboutbirds.org.

Generally, we don’t see ravens in the east tennesasee valleys but bird watchers have been reporting them recently.

Generally what I think of as ravens, croakers rather than cawyers are seen in the mountains, the high mountains. I have seen them mostly in flight and never in proximity to the crows who were raiding a blue jay nest yesterday afternoon.
