They probably have rich social lives. I wonder how fine-grained their communication signals are.

  Probably very good. They've been known to communicate highly specific dangers to other crows and supposedly understand recursion: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/crows-perform-yet-another-skill-once-thought-distinctively-human/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/crows-perform-yet... I haven't read it yet but there's also a sci-fi book about intelligent society of crows (Children of Time series): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Memory_(novel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Memory_(novel)

    "It's the same story the crow told me, it's the only one he knows . . . "

    the first book in the series is amazing. Unfortunately it goes down from there. Could not finish the third one ( Crow one )

      Third one was interesting but out of place. It didn't move the story forward. Maybe a little bit (I don't want to spoil the ending).

      That's disappointing to hear, I do own all three and plan to hopefully finish them before the years end.
