Apparently it’s unusual, but not unknown, for some crows to engage in a little necrophilia when they come upon a corpse of their own kind. A pair of researchers have been filming them in the act of this degeneracy and speculate that the animals are just confused during the height of the mating season. More

Well I suppose they are going to have to add another half dozen letters to the whole LBTQRSTUVWXYZCWEOGNTWYUJMTGCVDSUSHTRDFNIFE…. bullshitaramma.
Confused or just can’t tell the difference, crow chicks might be frigid by nature.

Nancy Pelosi better keep her mouth shut when she sleeps.
Once again, proving crows might be have been radicalized by Islam.

Corvidae are some of the most intelligent birds and misunderstood. Leslie did a short video on them recently, they actually hold funerals. I’d say the necrophilia part is more an anomaly. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any crows or ravens around here, I do have 2 pair of blue jays, they love shelled peanuts!

After a Half a Bottle of Old Crow
I’m up for about anything
guess that’s why they call them ‘a murder’ of crows
Fine by me if they shake a few feathers loose and leave them laying around. Barbs (aka vanes) from Crow feathers make interesting fishing fly bodies.
Crows are the Peter Strzok’s of the animal world.
willysgoatgruff, you made me laugh out loud. Thanks.
Imagine a conversation with one of these so-called researchers.
What do you research? A cure for cancer?
No.
Are you trying to end world hunger?
No.
What do you do?
I film crows having sex with dead crows.
Our family raised them as pets. I grew up with them around the household. Intelligent enough they had individual senses of humor. Albeit pretty much Three Stooges types of humor.

Heckle and jeckel was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid
MJA, that’s the funniest post I’ve read in a long time
The reason I never give any credence to biologists claims of homosexuality among animals is that they omit the fact that many animals mount one another to show dominance, not lust. This article mentions there acts of aggression which may indicate that the bird might be falsely taking credit for killing another crow,
“many animals mount one another to show dominance, not lust.”
In prison, it’s both.
Quoth the Raven, “Just one more?”
Sorry I’m late – got hung up in Internet traffic.
Wow! Who knew that crows were Muslims.
