The American Crow A Roadside Janitor


(corvus brachyrhynchous found at wikimedia commons under creative commons)

   The American Crow is obviously a very beautiful animal. They are about the size of a small hawk. The job God gave them was to clean up things around. Crows work with Buzzards taking away the departed road kill and dead animals along the state.
    They are known to carry diseases, and I am pretty sure they do since they take care of the diseased animals and hang around in cattle fields weilding and dealing with all of life's nasty little things.
     These creepy critters also eat eggs, nestlings, seed and feed left over from livestock, food humans leave around in garbage and much more nasty things.
     These birds can live up to 30-35 years. They make their nests of sticks and stay with the young until they are able to take care of themselves and then they leave them.
