Crows can easily become life long friends.

They're very smart, you could try talking to one. They're also very protective/family oriented.

Today I witnessed something very cool, a rather large hawk was scoping out a particular area above head and suddenly I heard the crow making a unique call. He was just a bit shorter than the hawk and was attempting to push him away. I can only assume there must have been a nest nearby.

What was cool about this was, the crow was continually making a unique noise to ward off this predator bird when suddenly another crow came out of no where and joined in on making intimidating calls. Then, as if to respond to the call for help- two more crows made a caw and joined in to assist the others in shooing away this hungry hawk.

In total 4-5 full-sized crows emerged out of no-where to defend their territory and protect their family.

I was quite impressed.
