Whether or not you can crow depends on where you are in your crow season. Canaries in the roost are a good indication of when you should begin your season, and what birds you should be looking out for.
Canaries are birds that monitor nests and if they see a young bird leave the nest to develop its feathers. If these canaries show up before April 1, then you can crow!
Crow seasons vary from year to year, but they always return to wintering at least four months out of the year. The length of time they stay in mid-winter is due to precipitation being available for them to stay over.
This is not true for other birds that need frozen water sources to survive spring and summer weather conditions, like geese and pigeons.

They are both clever and curious
Both crows and magpics are intelligent birds that can learn new tricks. While crows do not use their knowledge of the landscape to find food, they are very clever birds and use their knowledge to adapt to their environment.
This includes using hideouts and changing what habitat they need to search for food. Many crows will also switch roosts depending on the season.
As Intelligent Bird species, crows are able to recognize people and decide if someone is a worthy meal based on appearance and/or sound. They also use signs and sounds to communicate with each other!
If you saw a larger crow eating a smaller one, you would think it was killing something because of its loudness. Cows will often fight with each other when looking for shelter during cold winter times due to sharing space.
Crow species vary greatly in size
This is a key part of how biologists classify crow species. We use size to classify them into big, big-large, and extreme big-extreme large. This is important in the wild because crows can vary in size based on season and location, making it difficult to determine what species you are looking at.
In the United States, four species of crow live. They are the black-caw, American crows, rooks, and gingers. The black-caw is the largest of the four species by about a full inch and a half. The American crows are slightly smaller than the rooks and slightly bigger than the bishops.
The American crows are found in North America north of Mexico City, while the bishops originate from Central America and spread north into North America. These two groups split off from one another around one hundred years ago, suggesting they have been around for a long time.
They are known to be adaptable birds
Many birds can adjust their behavior based on their habitat. This includes changing preferences for food sources and socialization patterns.
This is called variable Behavior Variable Climate (VBC) and it’s very common. Many tree-living birds such as Hawks, Sparrows, and Nuthatches winter in burrows or old nest boxes until the next winter.
These people-lion Hybrid birds look like a harmless fern-bird with long legs, a rounded body, and a rounded tail. They have a habit of perching on leaf tips to reach the sunlight.
They are noted hybridizers who create species hybrids to better adapt to their unique environment. Some examples of this are green-plumming or green-vining trees, which give the hybridOak a green coloration on its branches.

They can influence human behavior
A lot of people have experience with crow adults as they will actu- ally nudge aside a human in order to get to a food source.
Crow are known for their versatility and influence. They will even aggressively defend a nest or young against any threats, including humans. This is not always the case, however.
Some nestlings have been attacked by adults and failed attempts at protection. In some cases, these attacks are symbolic of offspring that will leave the family when they grow too large.
This can be problematic as it can cause people to underestimate the crow as an enemy. If people are confronted with an aggressive crow, they should try to avoid fighting back and instead walk away!
If necessary, use your foot to lightly push the crow away.
