Just spent the last 20 minutes watching some strange crow behaviour here on the farm.
Not sure if they are playing games or something more serious but they have been flying around fighting duels with each other like a WWII dogfight between Spitfires and ME 109s. Mostly in pairs but sometimes 2 or 3 chasing one bird.
One particular pair were at it non-stop for about 5 minutes, jockeying for position with tight turns, sudden dives, climbing then swooping down. All the time shadowing each other no more than a few feet apart, sometimes inches away from each other taking it in turns to chase or be chased.

I don't know if they are practising mobbing birds of prey, having fun or just driven a bit mad by today's high winds.
Then they stopped and all came down onto the field to search for food on the meadow without any apparent animosity towards each other.


Just had a search and found this grainy example, also a windy day.



This popped up as well. Looks like 2 crows winding up a pair of cats for entertainment, making them fight each other. Likely, in reality just trying to distract them away from a nearby nest.


Probably the same thing going on here but it could just be that the crow is a badass...

I've seen that before. Impressive aerobatics. Mockingbirds will do that too.

Maybe it was crows v ravens like here but I don't think so as they looked the same size to me.


This is amazing, you wouldn't think that squirrels would be so brave but here it is on film...

Crows are smart. Maybe we should let them run the country for awhile and see what improvements they bring.
