Rudvan asked Boria Sax:

what do you think the most important traits of corvid family according to your personal observations?

Boria Sax Thank you very much for asking. One thing that is very important about crows is their relationship with human beings, which is more mutual and more equal than any other we have with another animal. Some animals, such as rats and pigeons, can profit from the environments that human beings create. Still others, such as dogs, can share affection with us. But crows are, so far as I can tell, the only other animal that seems to have an active curiosity about human beings. Just as we study them, crows are constantly studying us. They understand human body language as well as dogs and much better than chimpanzees. They can distinguish and remember individual human faces. Human beings are generally rather lonely animals, and in crows we have a full partner.
