Gray crow is a Eurasian bird of the crow family that lives in northern, eastern and south-eastern Europe, western Asia and the Nile Delta in Africa. Like the rest of the family, the gray crow is an opportunist who often exploits the human presence to nest and search for food, which is often found in or near settlements. It is easily recognizable by its two-tone, black and gray feathers throughout the body. The tail, dandruff, head and throat are brilliantly black, and the black coloration of the throat continues to the breast, where it ends with an uneven edge. The torso is ash gray with slightly darker lines that give it a slightly striped appearance. It measures 84 cm to 1 meter across and is 44 to 51 cm long. He is an omnivorous vulture, using his high intelligence in his search for food. It picks nuts, shells or crabs from the ground and lowers them from a high altitude onto a hard surface to break. In cities, we often find her opening trash bags and the like. In addition, he also steals eggs and kittens of other birds, e.g. seagulls and cormorants. I took this picture in the middle of town as she was browsing the garbage cans.

Thank you for everything, dear Tas
I really like crows. They are special.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear friend….they really are something special and they are very smart
I love crows, they are some of the smartest animals.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Ellie….they really are too smart
Great capture. We have gray crows.

You are welcome, Lado
Thanks for your kindness, dear Vidocka
Thanks also for your kindness
I’ll always be friendly with you, dear Vidocka
She is looking for food! We have a lot of grey crows in the city!
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Ileana…there are many of us everywhere … in the countryside where I live now, all other birds have been driven away
The Grey Crow looks very like our Australian Magpie and about the same size
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Pamela….are they also so clever and resourceful?
Grey crows are the real masters in our yard. Saw not long ago how they won fight with cats for food.
Thanks for viewing and kind comment, dear Anastasija….they really can be very violent and aggressive
Nice pictures, dear Lado! Can they be approached like Pigeons too?
I only know that crows exist in my country but don’t know about gray crows.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Albert…I painted these crows in the center of Ljubljana … they are obviously accustomed people so you can get close to them … gray and black crows live here
Wow! It’s very nice if they are not afraid to be approached, but they certainly don’t want to be touched, right?
I’d rather not try that too, my friend … they have a big beak and it wouldn’t be good to hit you with a beak
Yes, of course, dear friend. I’m just a little curious about how tame they are.
They are not obedient at all and there is nothing to be afraid of, dear Albert
We have grey crows here but the color is not so light it is a few shades darker. Crows are indeed very smart creatures and faithful too.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Dawn….you have gray and completely black crows … they are really smart … i watched her up close as she was eating garbage out of the trash downtown
We have Ravens in Maryland, a little larger than Gray and Black Crows!
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear friend…i can’t believe this is a smart bird
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear friend….i can’t believe this is a smart bird
They are incredibly smart!
I watched her browse through the trash and open the polyvinyl bags and look for food
They are regular guests in my backyard.
Very smart birds. They take the walnut fruit in height and drop it into the street. So they break it and come to feed.
It was a case last spring when he was chasing my dog around the yard.
Maybe they were young. It was interesting.
Thanks for viewing and kind comment, dear Robin….i can’t believe this is a smart bird … obviously people in the center of Ljubljana are used to it and i noticed it from close up looking for food in the trash …. if they need to be very offensive
Well, to say she’s resourceful, smart might be a strong word lado.
Yeah, well, that’s all, my friend … and very careful … every step of the way I approached her, she followed
I’ve heard of them, but never seen one
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear friend…there are as many of us as you want and they are very violent towards other birds
Vey cool, never seen one but they may be around.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Carol….there are as many of us as you want so there are no other birds … they are very violent and all other birds run away
Nice to see the photo of a gray crow I have not seen any gray crows here.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Grace….there are as many of them as you want in both gray and black
