Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
The birds that fear death
Don’t tease or threaten
crows. They remember you. A recent study confirmed that crows remember a threatening
person’s face and let others know of it by croaking. Then the next time the person
appears, they scold loudly trying to scare the person away. They seem to possess
cognitive and communicative ability.
They are also able to
recognize the death of their own species. When there is death in their
community, they gather around and squawk loudly nearby the dead crow. There are
some other animals that do the similar thing such as elephants, giraffes and
chimpanzees.
Enjoy reading and
learning this interesting experiment to find how crows react to death.
