Somehow they have to know

    My neighborhood trees are owned by crows and I've been watching them do their thing since I caught em building nests in early March. Crows are comrades and should be looked to as an example. They didn't just build their own nests. They worked on other nests too and would bring the twigs to a nest that would fit best with that twig. They also placed them throughout the trees at different heights and at angles and distances one nest could see at least 3 other nests clearly. Now the lil ones are born and being silly trying to learn how to crow and the entire hood has crows overlooking and swooping outdoor cats or people who fuck around. Something happened the other night and all of them started going off, cawing super loud in groups in different trees while others flew between. Crows build communities and their neighborhood defense is top tier. Really watch crows in the city. They're doing communism already.

        In any scenario I can run, they absolutely will be, st least corvids in general. They're adaptable to almost any region, ravens work as spotters for arctic wolves, they fly over potential prey so they can later get pickings on the kill. They're adaptive to pretty much every environment and there isn't s place on earth I know of they don't live aside from Antarctica (I'm generalizing crows as corvids here) and they tend to manage some niche in any system they exist in. This is also how we can learn from the humble crow. The future is looking bright for them not matter what it is for us. They can pick our bones and become a dominant species contender or we'll hang around and they'll still be in the top 50 animals when it comes to having it pretty good.
