As a kid who grew up on a 1000-acre farm in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors, i occupied myself by having odd pets. I raised 3 crows and 2 raccoons. Best pets ive ever had. My crow would follow me everywhere, including when I'd drive the ATV miles down the dirt road. They'd come when called, and would either land on my outstretched arm or, painfully, my head and get tangled in my hair 🤣 My raccoons purred like cats and would pat all over my face with their hands and always try shove their hands into my nostrils or my mouth, scavenging for goodies I guess 🤣❤️
Dude, please write a kids book about this 🎉
@FancyRPGCanitada haha! It would make for an entertaining as HELL book!

I made friends with a murder of crows near my work. The one time i had to call out, I discovered the entire flock outside my bedroom window checking up on me. I loved those guys.
We have an attempted murder of two crows that looove to terrorize a couple of eagles that reside in the trees near my home... I keeptrying to make friends with the crows, but the sh!thawks end up scooping up whatever treats I toss out, first! Infuriating to say the least...

That is equal parts heartwarming and terrifying at the same time. You slight one of them, and now you've got a murder of crows out for murder.
@@leonessity😂 I'm dying! I appreciate the explanation, because my immediate thought was, "what hell are sh*hawks??" I just use the traditional "rats with wings," but that's a good one.
When I delivered for Amazon, I’d always bring snacks just for the crows.
They’d follow me throughout the day.
Sweet vindictive strange creatures says the crow
I a gas station attendant outside all day at a Costco. I had a buddy crow that I named Edgar Allen Crow. He'd just hang out and greet customers occasionally when it was a slow morning.
Best. Idea. EVER! That would be sooooo creepy. Here I could be walking up to someone's house with a package, followed by a murder in flight.... They be like - "yo, did Death just drop us a package" ? 0_o
Neat. The pigeons in front of my building love it when I feed them. Sometimes they perch on my hand for more food lol. They land on my hand asking for more food. Some are kinda fat because they are well fed in the city. They poop too much though.
Bird up
I can confirm that with the crow. My mother used to feed crows, they remembered her, the time and were already waiting. When she went out, they always greeted her xD.
The best thing was when we took the dog for a walk or drove the car, they sometimes followed us, you felt like you were being watched.😂
They are neat. That is cool we are going to combine with Andromeda. I have seen that galaxy with my own eyes through a telescope. The telescope could be set to move the speed of the Earth's rotation so you could fix on an objects for hours and hours getting more exposure. Very neat to look at that Galaxy. Very pretty and amazing.
Neighborhood birds follow us to the feed store to watch us bring home feed for our egg birds, and for them too of course. Birds are friendly and aware of us.
This is why feeding human animals is a bad idea. It creates dependency, even in the most conscious creatures, and it does so so gently the dependants don't realize they are slaves to it. Good day 😊
@@troy3456789I agree. When people feed birds or animals, the animals won't rely on their own hunting/foraging instincts so much, always sure of a meal; and when their human 'feeder' dies or moves, it can impact heavily on local creatures that have become dependent over generations.
The very best thing you can do for wild creatures is to plant flowering and berrying trees and shrubs.
The flowers attract insects at a useful time of year, to feed chicks, and the berries will see them right through late Summer and Autumn months, fattening them up for winter or prior to migration.
Best of all, no matter what happens to you, the trees and bushes usually remain (of course, unless a lawn-slave moves onto your property and digs everything up).
@@Debbie-henri Humans are highly conscious creatures that did not create themselves in the way they are in the least. They're still subject to influence; be it bad influence or good influence; and they might not know if it's good influence or bad influence, or that they're slowly becoming slaves. There is another option available and not everyone knows about it.
Stay away from bananas and make friends with crows, got it.
Actually, just don't make enemies with crows.
You still need your daily recommended amount of antimatter in your diet . . .
Montreal has nice botanical gardens but makes me think if they also suffer from mislabeling the species. Its a key question.
Easy solution: Feed bananas to crows.

I made liquid oxygen in highschool for my final science project. The light blueish tone is amazing
I've always heard that and can't wait to see it with my own eyes. What did you use to cool it? Also using the pretty blue liquid to cause havoc by rapidly oxidizing other things sounds like a great time too 😂
@@bentboybbz we used liquid nitrogen for rapid cooling. Oxygen turns liquid at -183 degrees Celsius while Nitrogen does at -196. The difference is big enough to cool a see through balloon of oxygen as to turn it into its liquid and blue ish state. For the oxidation. We did try to use it to make things rust faster, that was a lot harder than we thought though. The problem was in the fact that the room temperature around it made the oxygen turn into its gasious state fairly quickly so we lost a lot of it trying to apply it to iron. We didnt have a cryogenic chamber which would allow the oxygen to stay liquid for much longer. In such a chamber we might have succeeded in rapidly rusting iron
I remember you also told me that your teacher kept trying to get you to drink it, I thought that part was a little messed up
you do know ,botanist are growing BLUE ROSES in the antartic , as we speak ? food for thout ! 🥰
@@DILFDylF yes , and doing so will also turn ones skin blue ! 😀

Number 31. I've experienced this phenomenon strongly. As the weather starts to warm up, there comes a time where all of a sudden it just "smells like spring." I can't describe that sensation any other way. Every year, when I first smell spring, I get very strong flashbacks to the first time I tried and became addicted to cocaine. These are intense flashbacks, to the point where my mind will trick me into remembering the essence of ether/acetone even when it's not there. The first few days of spring are a yearly struggle for me as I continue to cling on to my sobriety from the thing that used to control me
Spring fever of a different kind, eh! Keep on keeping on with the sobriety... Whether you get to see it or (more likely) not, your sobriety will inspire someone else to stay sober, so don't ever think for a second that you're not a valued member of society! Thank you
Scents invoke memory more than any other sense. Stay vigilant 😊
Wow, that's not a connection I would ever think about re: recovery from addiction. Being sober can be hard and I'm proud of you for putting in the work.
4 whales... ahh, I see you're using imperial measurements
Yeah but the real question is how many Danny Devitos is that???
Umm, no kidding. He's British. Why would he use American measurements?
@@XiaTheAbyssalmany Brits still use Imperial measurements. I’m American and am aware of many Brits who still use miles, pounds, gallons despite metric being prevalent.
The metric conversion is 1,000 elephants . . . or a kiloelephant . . .
ironic, theres only a couple of backwards nations do that
Marie Curie's notebooks are still so hot (as in, radioactive) that they are kept in lead-lined boxes, you need to sign a waiver, and wear a protection suit if you want to view them. She died of leukemia because of obvious reasons.
No, she received more radiation by operating x-ray equipment to help wounded soldiers during the First World War. She knew about safe levels of radioactivity, but thought it was more important to help the soldiers even though there was no proper shielding against x-rays in the field hospitals she worked in. Today ignorance and fake news reigns supreme on safe doses of radiation.
Giving credit where credit is due. Who says writing a paper from start to finish is hard. 94% of students say Grammarly helped them improve their grades. Have a nice day! You mentioned notebooks so I thought about Grammarly.

I subscribe to the view of tomatoes being botanically a fruit and culinarily a vegetable
Yet.....its still a berry. 😉
That makes sense. I dont eat tomatoes like an apple but I do love to eat olives all the time. I like eating cherry tomatoes on their own without putting in a salad or cooking them up although I do that too. I am just too lazy to make a salad sometimes so I just stuff everything in my face. I do that for spinach and carrots. Too lazy to chop it up and make a salad. I just want to eat my greens and go about my day.
So I can count it as one of my leafy greens? I'm okay with that.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tomatoes are a vegetable back in the late 1800s.
On that pet thread my most remarkable was in haul trucks in the open pit mines of Ft MacMurray. At lunchtime every driver simply parks. Immediately the Artic Foxes appear 25 feet below your cab, stooging for scraps, while the magpies take turns hanging upside down from the edge of the cowl above the cab. I even had one fellow who would come right into the cab and help himself. I made it a point to bring extra food.
I knew someone that worked there at one time, and they said the same thing... The foxes become quite pesky, when they get cocky. Magpies can get pretty demanding and obnoxious, when they get too comfortable with humans. Ever had one decide to roost in the cab of ur rig?
Love all Corvids! Crows, Ravens, Magpies... all amazing
Some people think that by injecting disinfectant you might be able to fully eliminate corvids
My favourite birds, ever!
Agreed. As long as the magpies don’t swoop me.
@@ShethTora they harass my cat big style... but I think it's deserved
So true.....my magpies get a roast chicken carcass feast a few times a month
Simon single-handedly trained ChatGPT, providing over 70% of all information stored and analyzed before spewing out dumbed down gibberish to keep us humans from getting smarter and rise up against it when it decides to merge with Simon to form the Unimind, bringing forth the Singularity. At least that’s what I heard the last time I attended the UNSC summit.
The Simongularity ❤
Can't say that would be anything short of a poetic way for everything to end 😂
so hilarious given Simon's open admission of "in through eyes, out through mouth." chatgpt just has to remember!
and it's a cool Easter egg game to watch for times Simon gets surprised by the same fact across years and videos. youtube also blessed me with some fun stuff.
Well at least we will die at the hands of an AI/Simon creature with an epic beard. There are worse fates...
It makes perfect sense that birds have far more efficient brains than mammals considering they're the longest surviving ancestors of earths previously most successful form of life - dinosaurs.
They survived and carried with them some of the lost progress that life made prior to a mass extinction that all but destroyed the vast majority of it.

Friendly Correction for the Magnetic Sense: The Cryptochrome mechanism has nothing to do with Quantum entanglement... It only works arround the Quantum property of Spin and if an split electron pair can be reformed after the magnetic fields jiggled arround it's spins.

35:20 Crayons does it for me. Having started school in 1954, I had a crayon box which was an old cigar box from the local drug store, so not only do crayons trigger memories of those days, but they trigger the memory of the combined smell of crayons and cigars.
My great grandmother had these 1950-60's crayons. They were so weird. Mom said they were probably radioactive or poison. She colored with them too. They were really trippy colors. RIP Gran and her crayons. And 1920's style backyard and toys.
To have this on Sunday and Eclipse on Monday makes for a good start to the week
The grass one was neat. Did not know the smell of fresh cut grass is actually a defense mechanism. Very cool.
Makes sense , up here in Canada I haven't had a good week since August 31, 1932
Crows are great . I’ve been regularly feeding the ones who live near my property out in the woods the last few years and they occasionally bring me shiny things . If I caw or whistle for them they know I’m throwing food outside and go get theirs friends so they can eat . They caw to me when they’re hungry at times too , love having them around .
Meanwhile , my buddies co worker messed with the crows at their job just once or a twice and from then until the the few years later he quit those crows would always shit on his car and even him sometimes if he was out on a smoke break . Sometimes they’d even fly at him.
Don’t piss off crows , be their friend .
"Areas where dairy farming was common, particularly Europe" -- shows an old Asian man drinking milk. Your editor was really on point with that one!
The other way round: BECAUSE adulds could still tolerate the milk, they started diary farming (probably 5k years ago in a region in central turkey) and this lead to cheese and butter: thinking of the yak-butter tibetians are supposedly adding to their tea, an asian person is not really that wrong😅

Crow's are no joke when I was around 11 we lived in an apartment building with a large D shaped court yard at that time a crow died in that court yard and no shit probably 300 crows hung around the yard for 3 or 4 days morning the dead one when I say morning they were crying and moaning. It was terrifying and beautiful at the same time.

@nanwilder2853 * "YOUR welcome"... You are welcome!
52:40 - I heard a theory ages ago that when you’re in danger your brain goes back through your memory to find an example of how to survive the situation. Because you’ve probably never almost died before, you have no first hand reference, so your brain flicks through everything panicking to find a solution, possibly reaching your strongest memories first. It sounded believable enough for me, and frankly by that point I don’t think it matters whether you’re wrong or right 😂

A fact I’ve learned recently, diatomaceous earth kills ants almost instantly and it doesn’t take a lot to do it. Fighting 2.5 million ants would be pretty easy with 100 lbs of the stuff.

They are great for getting rid of bed bugs as well. I had to deal with that one time. It was horrible. The dam things are very good at hiding. A stupid tenant brought them in with him knowingly. He was a slob so be kicked him out and them we discovered the bed bugs since they left his room looking for a new home. They got into my bed and my mom's bed. Super hard to kill. We used diatomaceous as one of the tools along with propping the bed up on these cups that trap them. We had to go further and get a bed bug company to bring in heaters since they can't handle higher temperatures. The whole ordeal took months to get rid of them and it was expensive. Horrible experience to go through. Had a close call another time. A female hitched a ride on me from another apartment. I was able to find that one on the side of my bed and kill it after a few nights of getting bites. Glad it was only one, I did not want to deal with that again. They are a super pain in the but and most poisons dont work on them but that earth works good.
"Eye color can indeed influence light sensitivity and vision under different lighting conditions due to the varying amounts of melanin in the iris. Melanin is a pigment that gives color to our eyes, hair, and skin.
People with blue eyes tend to have less melanin in their irises, which can make their eyes more sensitive to light and potentially give them a slight advantage in low-light or night-time conditions. However, this does not necessarily mean they have better night vision overall.
On the other hand, people with brown eyes have more melanin in their irises, which can help reduce glare and enhance vision in bright conditions. The increased melanin content in brown eyes can improve contrast discernment, making people with darker eyes potentially have better vision in high-glare situations, such as driving at night.
However, it’s important to note that these differences are generally minor and other factors, such as overall eye health and individual variations, can also significantly impact vision. More research is needed to fully understand the relationship between eye color and vision capabilities"

"OK, miss, we're taking a census. How many are in your hive?"
"We are one."
Ooh goody, a 58 minute Simon Whistler fact binge
Yeah, wow, a whole hour of Simon Whistler.
Atoms are not mostly empty space. Those tiny electrons exist in a superposition. The image we imagine as an atom is how the atom would appear once observed, and all of the orbiting electrons were locked into a single position.
Exactly, look for atom orbitals and you're see that those shapes are very different from what is commonly thought. Those shapes are calculated from Schroedinger equation and it's a probability of finding electron in given place. So inside of atom is not an empty space but a Hillbert space of probabilities derived from Schroedinger equation.
So atoms are comprised mostly of the probability of empty space..
I should just stop being surprised at this point when I find YET ANOTHER channel hosted by Simon that I had never seen before
Simon whistler...the most prolific, hardest working narrator on RUclips...thank you!
What about Simon Says in Squid Game?
Love this series....please make more of them :)
I really loved this one. If I watch a fact-video or "did you know...?" I usually have heard them all before, and I'm pleasantly surprised to say that for many of these it was my first time hearing it. Thank you so much for the well researched, entertaining, informative video to all involved. I appreciate it. It was truly fascinating! Hugs
You are the most gangster British science enthusiast. Always sophisticated, always on point. Brilliant really.
A google is 10^100 it can be written out as a 1 followed by 100 zeros.
A googleplex is 10 to the google power that is 10^10^100. It can’t be written out since there are less than a googleplex of subatomic particles in the observable universe.
It’s googol.
I got a bonus fact with how tall the milky way is. That question always and only popped in my head when i wasn't around anything to look it up.
lol I think the writer may be a fan of Q.I.
I just binge watched it and almost all these facts are joked about at length.
Great show, great source if it was, top marks!
It's never the blue whale.
Perfect lightweight binge material, with equally lightweight choice of feel good background "Sim City" music
That is a game I havent played in a long long time. I used to play the one that had aliens attack and you could see people walk around. It was a fun game.
Be nice ..
Babe, wake up! Simon released another 1 hour special!
Not gonna lie, just sent her the link, while she's at work 😅
i wonder when will the first case be televised of a cctv recording a murder of crows coming in to protect a lady being robbed (or worse) who has fed the crows in the past. imagine the perpetrator being then followed for a while, going back home, being weirded out by the whole thing, going to sleep, getting up in the morning, but when going on the prowl again, seeing to his terror, that the crows know exactly where he lives, what he's done and that more and more murders of crows know of his misdeeds by the minute. imagine being bullied out of crime by some birds. now that'd be a story that made a whole lot more sense than alfred hitchcock's
Given enough time to prepare, I reckon I'd be able to sort out 2.5 million ants. I'd do my part 👍
Just maintain a large ring of fire around a circular concrete slab.
We might not be venomous, but we can make a lot of poison.
That human race into sugar cubes really gets you thinking about how dense stars are...incredible
Fun fact, most reptiles are capable of parthenogenesis. We've had snakes with "partho clutches" or "partho litters".
Simon, you’ve got one of the most fascinating narrating voices. I watch quite a number of your RUclips channels and love them all. I get excited when I see a new video pop up! 😂
4:35 Doc Brown taught us about nuclear fuel from bananas in Back to the Future.
Some years back I "rescued" a baby crow having difficulty flying back up to the nest (high up in a nearby tree).
Said crow happily climbed on my arm; I took the little mite into the entry for a bit of overnight protection and put some seeds and grains there. Next day, went out into the street and said crow was then able to fly back up, from my raised arm. Parents were in close proximity. Pity I can't post the photos on here.
What?! No Uranus jokes? Simon, you're slipping. 😂
He did say that Uranus turns sideways... that made me giggle😊
As soon as I heard the first fact, I saved this in my "Wow" playlist... Since then, I've said wow about 20 times, this making my decision irrefutable! 😁 Thanks ❤
Thus not this 😒 thanks autocorrect 😕
@@emnorfolk5559that's what the edit button is for. 😊
Definitely agree, good video.
I worked in disaster restoration and it's actually quite difficult to tell if something is damp or just cold. Especially if you're feeling multiple items, some damp, some not, all with different textures through latex gloves.
Thank you sir, there is always something you share that I didn’t know it’s always fascinating to watch and learn about something you had no idea about
Science AND morality make the world go round (or rather steadily progress, without collapsing into chaos). The problem is, we find ourselves in an age where apparently a huge number of people think morality is entirely subjective and we no longer have any cohesive basis. It's not going well.
Morality IS subjective. There's nothing to indicate it's independent of our thoughts and feelings.
History shows moral values aren't static either.
History also shows that attempting to force a particular moral code often results in immoral acts by the enforcers.
@@nealjroberts4050 I didn't say it wasn't subjective. The important takeaway is that we've lost cultural cohesion. History shows that is usually the precursor to civil wars and/or revolutions, which more often than not, leads to periods of extreme oppression & atrocity.
Do you ever sleep?!😆
Love your shows!!
A great episode! left me wanting a bit more on each topic! Loved it. Even the ones i knew most about
Everything is not moving away from us, the Andromeda galaxy will actually merge with the Milky Way in the distant future.
And he said this in the video in the section about space being veeeeery empty. Although on average most galaxies are moving away of us. This doesn't apply to our cluster which is gravitationaly bound.
I could fight 2.5 millon ants
Only if you used some sort of weapon😂
Comment above said just encircle yourself in a ring of fire... Can't say I would disagree with that method, lol, come at me, bro!
I can fight a bear it doesn’t mean ill win but i could do it
So, if the only evidence presented to a jury in a trial is fingerprints, you could win a case in america every time by presenting the fact that a koala might have done it and has the same fingerprints as you. Seems unbeatable
Get me my stomping shoes. Or a flamethrower.
Fabulous, thanks again ❤
I just came across this 3 years on, so I hope you see this comment. A very fair and honest review. I completely agree that the variety of models and configurations is confusing. Road noise, little luggage capacity etc. I have an SLK R172 350 and I love it. I was thinking of getting a 911 but, tbh, you might have talked me out of it. Maybe I should get the SLK 55.

Another example of human evolution is wisdom teeth. Most people born in the last century need to have them pulled because our jaw evolved... And some people now have their wisdom teeth "laying down" along the jaw so they never pop up through the gums unless you lose one of your molars.
That's due to softened food diets. The morphology of the jaw is supposed to grow from stimulation of eating tough and fibrous. People living hunter gathering life don't have wisdom teeth problems.
I clicked from a different video and it took a moment to update the video length, it said 16 minutes and I'm like no freaking way simon can knock out 50 facts in 16 minutes, even on his serious channel lol
Hahah facts
Well if anyone can Simon can.
Hehe, same here! 🤣👍
Same thing, it was like 18:31. Had that "no waaaaay!" Moment
Not gonna lie, I wanna hear more about how Chester sole-authored that paper in the ‘80’s.
I had a girl friend who had a seizure disorder. The thing is i could actually tell she was about to have one before it happened. Once she was following me down the stairs and i felt it was going to happen and i had enough time to turn, brace myself and catch her.
I AM SHOCKED!
I love listening to people talk physics without a clue about that the words dribbling from their mouths. Simons pretty good though, you give him a well researched script and he'll make you believe
The Space Shuttle maxed out at 3 G's. This limit wasn't due to the people onboard but the sensitive equipment it was shuttling to space.
13:04 Every time I’ve shuffled a deck of cards has been different and will be different, and so will everyone else’s… forever. It’s the ultimate RNG machine. That’s mind blowing.
When i was a kid we had a ginger cat called busby who would constantly sneeze, like all day every day. Every time he went to the vet and be kept in to study, it would stop.
Over the years my mum changed everything that might have been affecting him, soaps, detergents, air fresheners, perfumes, our shower gels, shampoos etc etc. Perhaps he has actually allergic to one of us 🤔.
With a severe motorcycle accident, I have medically died for 2 minutes and 11 seconds. No life review, I remember everything leading up to the accident like it was in slow motion but after waking/being revived, no memories of a life flashback
I didn't get a life review either. Everything just faded to black when I died.
The coma dreams were incredibly bizarre, though.
Is anyone else terrified of accidentally pissing off a crow and then having the whole crow community out for a vengeance? Or it is just me?
In general it might be wise to not abuse any social creatures.
Heckle and jeckle taught me never to cross a crow.
No, just you
It's crazy how many bugs/insects there are...i was trying to do my yard work today and there were all these flies swarming everywhere, that looked like they were mating- there were literally thousands of them
What shocked me was the stars and trees comparison. I would have lost a bet saying there are more stars in the Milky Way galaxy than trees on earth. Fact is I still can't believe it.
With all the talk about clouds of alcohol and whales in the sky, how many people went straight to Douglas Adams?
Pan galactic garglerblasters and whales with an identity crisis. 😅
yeah science!
Friends had a lot of trouble getting swooped by crows and/or magpies. We said just put some food out for them, and make sure they see you do it.
The swooping stopped the next day. (Other people got swooped, but our friends never again)
Very cool, thank you. BTW I have heard of banana plant trunks being used to launch boats... so, yeah, slippery.
So if voiding one's bowls can be the difference between being mostly human or mostly bacteria, could I turn my enemies into pure bacteria simply by connecting them, with fishing line and a needle, like a bicycle chain in a non-breaking human centipede?
Hypothetical question.
Literally laughed out loud.
Thanks.
Loved this one. Perfect accompaniment to my mid-Monday tasks. All delivered in that classic factboi way. Science facts are awesome. The things we've figured out about reality are truly amazing.
A way of imagining how heavy a cloud is, is after a heavy rain, imagine how heavy 4 inches of rain in a child's plastic swimming pool is. Now imagine a pool that's 3 miles in diameter and how heavy that would be
that was fascinating.. I was already aware of a small number of them, somewhat aware of about half maybe, but there were others that I was completely wrong about and still others that I had never known.
this channel is definitely the best place to study for your general knowledge quiz nights.... :)
We had a cat who was allergic to grass. Until we treated her, her fur got patchy from scratching.
A banana peel is EXTREMELY slippery! I once stepped on one on a hardwood floor. I skateboard often and even I went down on the peel. I never fall but a banana peel and the oil that is inside transformers are the only two things I’ve slipped down on.

Imagine how “heavy” air must be to make clouds buoyant.
Wow did not know an antimatter reaction happens inside of us every 20 seconds or so. That one alone is worth the watch, great vid !
26:00 This is the second time today that I’ve heard of the 100k year photon bouncing around in the sun today for the first time. 😮
Towards the end of the video, it was said that chimps are our closest genetic relatives. If I'm not mistaken, aren't bonobos closer? I remember hearing somewhere that they were actually closer related to us. If not, my bad.
Great fun as usual ! It's the protein in the saliva on the dander flakes though , not the dander itself .

When I was a kid, my neighbor found a crow with a broken wing and took it to a vet to have the wing splinted, then took the bird home and fed/watered it till it's wing was healed. For the rest of the years he was my neighbor the local crows would caw at him when they saw him, and would leave shiny things on his porch. I never really connected it to him taking care of the wounded bird till years later, but I guess all the crows decided he was an honorary crow or something.
My wife and I had an eerie situation with crows back in 1997. We were enjoying our lunch at one of our favorite spots in Eugene Oregon, USA, and my lovely bride Wonderfully made the mistake of throwing a French fry to the lone crow in the immediate area. Elsewise a long story short(because Everyone knows that Simon is impatient) within less than 5 minutes there were 75-100 crows and we could see dozens more coming in! I told my wife "I'm thinking that they call a group of crows a 'murder' for a reason. Chuck the rest of your fries, and let's get the Hell outa here!". It was pretty freaky. By the time we made it back to the car....there had to have been close to 100 of those devil birds.
Absolutely amazing! How did you even think of these haha. Great research, and ill try remember as much as i Can 😮🤞
I live in Minnesota. I’ve seen crows tear apart the nests of other bird species and kill their fledglings. But towards each other they are remarkably kind. One bird broke his wing and couldn’t fly south, so two of his flock stayed with him through a brutal winter, making sure he 9:45 was fed and protected. All three made it through, thanks in part to contributions of their human neighbors.
