CORVID SURVEY TECHNIQUES AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORVID RELATIVE ABUNDANCE AND NEST PREDATION
Abstract We conducted a four-year study on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington to assess the relationship between corvid (Gray Jay [Perisoreus canadensis], Steller's Jay [Cyanocitta stelleri], American Crow [Corvus brachyrhynchos] and Common Raven [Corvus corax]) abundance and the risk of nest predation. We assessed risk of predation through the use of

We investigated nest predation in the endangered Canarian houbara bustard using 229 artificial nests and camera traps. Ravens were identified as the main predators, and predation rates were influenced by raven density, vegetation cover, stone cover, and road density.

Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.

Crow (Corvus spp.) meat: research possibilities to determine nutritional quality and health risks
There is very limited (if any) literature on the potential use of corvids, specifically crows, as game meat. Despite the worldwide presence of corvids (including crows), especially in urban and other anthropogenic settings, a negative perception of this ...
