Can You Recognize a Crow?

Oh sure. All the suspects are black.

Do I have to call a Beer Summit now, Kalel?

i am loving the comments so far. So crows can recognize individuals..is this so they know what cars to dirty? If so, I hope to remain in the good graces of the crows on my street.

ive often wondered if animals could recognize themselves if they saw a picture. if you show a cat sees another cat... do they think?? hey, thats what i am!!

I'm not surprised abot those birds- they have contacts with much more individuals on short notice than we humans ever have.
I'm also not surprised that I flunked that test bigtime- I have a hard time even recognising my own friends the moment they switch to glasses or contacts or if they cut their hair or take a beard...

Is there really "crow research"? Wow, what a thing to put on a resume.

Wait, every time we have a race problem, then we get beer...?

Just call me Cracker.

Cracker and beer it is then!

Not to brag, but I had no trouble whatsoever recognizing the individual crows. I have a pretty monstrous attention to detail when it comes to things like that. The trick is to notice the particular curve of the crown, the shape of the eye, and the angle of protrusion in the beak. Another sure-fire help is to check how the top and bottom of the beak come together. Does the bird have an over/under-bite? Also, notice how the feathers come together around the beak. Cool, all together. Crows are some mighty fascinating and intelligent animals.

Meh - I love crows, so that was no biggie. I also keep tabs/statistics on the "murder" that inhabits my area.

Wasn't really hard to tell them apart...

Jim! Is that you?

All crows (and magpies) look the same thru my rifle scope.

"Can you recognize a crow?"

"But why?"

Could you recognize a chinese person?

Those are not crows...they are ravens which are a different species. Batgirl, birdwatcher
