Crows, known for their sharp wits, are not only clever but also capable of working as a team. During non-breeding seasons, they frequently gather in groups or even flocks, which enhances their chances of survival. A key strategy these birds employ is to designate a 'watcher' who perches above the group to keep a lookout for potential threats. This vigilance helps them remain alert and cautious, making it difficult for predators or humans to approach them unnoticed. If someone manages to overcome this cautiousness, there are unique sights and sounds to experience from this remarkable species.

Most of the crows found in Latvia are non-migratory, meaning they do not fly to warmer climates in the fall but rather wait out the winter. Interestingly, they may also wander during the winter season. Additionally, crows from northern and eastern regions migrate to Latvia during the colder months, adding to the local population. Their adaptability to different environments makes them a fascinating subject for observation, particularly during winter when food sources and behaviors shift dramatically due to shorter daylight hours.

Crows are omnivores, and their diet is quite diverse, influenced by their habitat and the time of year. For instance, during winter when the days are shorter, their feeding habits shift to accommodate the availability of food, including scavenging from human sources. This adaptability in both social and feeding behaviors illustrates not only their intelligence but also their ability to thrive in varying conditions, presenting opportunities for engaging wildlife observation and study in Latvia.
