Recently, I noticed a juvenile crow that had been hit by a car in San Francisco, it was limping and unable to fly.
There were two crows near by that kept an eye on it. When I grabbed the injured crow and took it to my car [1] to deliver to a wildlife hospital [2], the two crows followed me to my car and called out. It was really intense. I felt bad for taking the crow away, but had hoped that I would be able to help it.
Ultimately the crows injuries were too bad to care for and the wildlife center [1] had to put it to sleep :(
It was pretty amazing to see the crows' behavior. They really seemed upset/concerned when I collected the injured juvenile, it seemed like sincere empathy which is something that's amazing to observe in non-humans. Heck, it's amazing to observe in humans :P
If you're in the bay area and find injured wildlife, please get in touch with the Lindsay.
