I used to feed the crows where I worked at the time, and they had an interesting ritual they went through. One crow would be at the highest point near the food and the other crows would take their portion first and then the crow that was doing most of the caw-ing would take the rest. Sometimes the non-alpha crows would be in a row along the edge of the building, ready to take their turn. Maybe I was just more attuned to hearing crows, but during that time and for a few years afterwords I would notice crows making their noises as I walked around town, like they were keeping tabs on me. Definitely interesting birds.
