Crows are black for a very good reason. This is for identification of their own kind. A crow can easily identify another crow in the distance, during the day, because black is very visible during the day. However, at night, the black coloration helps to protect it from predators. Black is not easily seen during the night, when a crow is most vulnerable.

Crows will eat just about anything. You are bound to find them feasting at  fast food restaurant parking lots. They will eat bugs, worms, roadkill, mice, berries, corn, and a variety of other tasty treats. An adult crow needs 11 ounces of food each day. Many people believe that crows damage farm crops. This is not always true. Crows often eat harmful insects, benefitting farmers.

Crows are very social in nature. Interaction with their own kind is  extremely important to them. Male crows will "court" their desired female. The male will fluff his feathers, strut, and fly by, in his attempts to win over the female. Once mated,
crows usually mate for life. Not only will crows defend and protect their own family, but they will come to the aid of
unrelated crows in need or distress. Crows are cooperative breeders. Both crow parents take turns sitting on the egg. All
family members help in the care of the brood. As nesting season arrives, the juveniles from prior years, along with their parents,

will help gather nesting material. The crow mother-to-be will arrange the nesting materials into a soft comfy nest. The number of eggs in a clutch is usually 4 to 6.

Crows have extremely good memory. "A crow never forgets", especially when it comes to something to be feared, or where they placed their cache of food for later consumption.
