Title: Managing Wildlife Damage: American Crow
Resource Type: Fact sheet
Description: The American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) is the largest crow species found
in North America (Figure 1). Crows are thought to be some of the most intelligent birds, which has allowed them to adapt to many different environments and persist throughout time. An example of this intelligence is that crows have been documented making and using tools to forage for food and water. The American Crow has a distinct ‘caw’ call that makes them easy to identify via sound. Their major impacts on the environment are agriculture damage and disease transmission. Crows are very social animals which increases the impacts of their damage.
