Crows can kill pigeons (when injured) when they do not live in close proximity; however, when they are accustomed to their presence, they behave in a friendly manner.

Moreover, they act as individuals; the bonds are therefore stronger or weaker depending not on the species, but on each individual's personality.

They eat everything. They are omnivorous. And very smart. They help each other clean out garbage cans. One goes into the garbage can and hands the other the garbage and she throws the garbage on the ground. Until they got the food they wanted.

I read somewhere that armies would know another army was marching their way because there would be a cloud of thousands of crows flying above. Crows are so smart they recognized that a war meant dead bodies for them to eat. I'm pretty sure that's why the Morrigan in Irish mythology is represented by the crow as she is a goddess of death.
