Crows are clever, thoughtful birds that have shown themselves capable of solving complex problems, remembering human faces, and even holding a grudge. They also flock to members of their own species after death in a behavior that looks like mourning, but which scientists suspect is closer to reconnaissance.
“What killed this bird?” they seem to be thinking. “And how do I avoid the same fate?”
But there’s this other thing some crows do when they encounter a fallen comrade, according to a new study published in the Royal Society Publishing journal Philosophical Transactions B. And it’s a little off-putting.
Sometimes crows try to get it on with the dead.
Now, a little necrophilia here and there isn’t unheard of in the animal kingdom. Scientists have documented occurrences in ground squirrels, tegus, Mallards, sea lions, and otters, just to name a few species who apparently dabble in the dark arts. Unfortunately, these are almost always opportunistic, one-off observations that don’t offer much insight into the animal mind. But Kaeli Swift, an animal behaviorist at the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington, has changed all of that.

When you live in India then it is very hard for you to ignore this bird and its name is Indian Crow. Also, read Jungle Crow. It is also called House Crow and its scientific name is Corvus Splendens. These black colored birds are neither beautiful nor they have a sweet voice, but we can find them everywhere.
#7 Meanwhile in Africa, crows are riding on the backs of eagles

One explanation for the strange sight before you is that crows are definitely plotting world domination and now they’re probably going to win because they’ve drafted in the eagles. But before you start readying for an army of eagle-riding crows, here’s a (slightly) more plausible scenario.
Taken in December last year in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, which straddles the border between South Africa and Botswana, this (incredibly lucky!) snapshot captures the moment a Cape crow latches onto the back of a tawny eagle.
“A pair of Cape crows had been harassing the eagle for a while, pecking at it on the ground. When the eagle flew off, the crows followed [and] this one managed to land on the back of the eagle, and get a good enough grip to continue to peck at [it] in flight,” explains photographer Barry Scott.
“The eagle flew on for a while with the crow attached, until it managed to dislodge it and fly off into the distance,” he adds.
Just what might have prompted the crow’s brief joyride is unclear, but crows are well known for their eagle-pestering ways.

#5 Crows and Ravens,more info:backyardbuddies
Crows and ravens are part of the Corvidae family of Australian native birds. There are five native members of the family found in Australia – three are called crows and three ravens. Crows and ravens are very distinctive and easily recognised, although there is very little difference between them and they look very similar.
The five native species of Corvids (crows and ravens) in Australia are the Australian Raven, Little Raven, Little Crow, Forest Raven, and the Torresian Crow. They are all quite similar – ravens being perhaps slightly larger – and some can be difficult to tell apart in the field without close scrutiny. Another, introduced species -the House Crow – makes an occasional appearance. It is the only Corvid in Australia which has white in the plumage and is a declared pest in some states.
