They’re charming, smart, and REALLY EFFIN’ TERRIFYING.
I know what you're thinking. You think that crows aren't that cool, and you know what? That's okay. There's time for you to change. Let's start with the basics! First, they start out pretty cute. Check out this baby! Very fluffy, very cute.

Next crow fact? They mate for life. And though they meet sexual maturity by age two, a lot of them don't reproduce until later than that. They're just waiting to meet that special someone, y'know?

They also exhibit "cooperative breeding behavior" which means that they watch out for the mom while she's incubating, and they all help feed the babies until they're self-sufficient. Some offspring even stay to help out with the next batch of babes.

Also pretty cool? A group of crows is called a murder. That's right. A MURDER. That right there? That's a MURDER ON A HIGH WIRE.
