Do you hear the crows this morning?

Did you know crows have funerals?
There may be a reason why these loud, black birds have a place in horror and mythology.
Crows are extremely intelligent birds. Crows, Ravens and Magpies have the largest brain among other birds.
Studies have shown they can count, use other animals to do their dirty work, and yes, have funerals.
How a crow funeral works, from what I've read, is, when a dead crow is found, large groups of crows gather, cawing, sounding off, and flying around. Then suddenly a moment of silence is observed, all the crows hush, and seconds later it's over, and they fly away. A moment of respect for their fallen comrade, probably more than a lot of humans get.
If you write paranormal, or mythological fiction, the crow may be a great animal to use in your stories.

And heck, if you're ever too tired to take your dog for a walk, you may find the friendly neighborhood noisemaker eager to help. I've read where crows grabbed on to a dog's leash, a cow's leash etc. and took the animal for a walk.
