Science & ResearchApr 19, 2026score 1.258 posts · 10 replies across 8 instances
Observation of corvids—crows and ravens—is the dominant focus, driven by both casual sightings and scientific theory. Specific documentation included users noting 'almost all crow sunday' and distinguishing between species like magpies and jackdaws, as reported by @[email protected]. Furthermore, @[email protected] pointed to established scientific research on how animal personality dictates survival tactics in wild ravens. Beyond the bird focus, the thread featured disparate conversations. @[email protected] used the wildlife sightings to generate artistic photography tags. Meanwhile, @[email protected] initiated a mixed conversation thread, linking crow observations to later, more routine discussions about local weather predictions, noting expected cold snaps and rain. The community is overwhelmingly engaged in documenting the intelligence and presence of local corvids. While discussions about weather and general nature are present, the academic and photographic interest in corvid behavior forms the undeniable core, with scientific literature providing the highest-scoring, most detailed underpinning for the interest.

Ravens (Oregon, 2026) Very intelligent creatures. Crows are too, but they don't like each other. #photography #fotografie #fotografia #photographie #architecture #pnw #oregon #naturephotography #silentsunday #monochrome #blackandwhite

It's so windy today. I watched one pigeon, and later three crows, just coasting in place. Like hovering in the sky without going anywhere. They seem to be having lots of fun. I would love to do that.

What my mum would call a “bloody great crow” is strutting around our lawn, pecking for prey, and Sapphy has just hunkered down on the carpet to watch it. #cats #birds
