Crows can pose a threat to ducklings, particularly when they are vulnerable and unable to fend for themselves. These intelligent birds may prey on ducklings or scavenge eggs from nests, especially in areas where food is scarce. However, crows are opportunistic feeders and may not primarily target ducklings unless other food sources are limited. Overall, while they can be a risk, predation rates by crows on ducklings are generally lower compared to other predators like raccoons or Birds of Prey.
Yes, Crows will actually feed on baby birds and ducklings. I have seen a number of crows who will snatch the baby duckling away from mothers because she can't protect them all. This happens every spring in my complex where we have ducks come to the ponds. We have a large population of crows in the area. Very sad to see.
crows build nests in places where they feel safe from possible predators, e.g up in a high tree or in a hedge. :) The term 'crow's nest' is also used when referring to the fixed lookout point at the top of the mast of a sailing vessel.
A murder of crows is a group of three or more of them. It is believed that they got this distinction because a group of crows would gather together to determine the fate of another crow in their group. Many times this led to the murder of the said cow.
It depends on if your talking about domestic cattle or wild bulls. For domestic cattle if you are out in the country wolves, foxes, or any wild canine might prey on your calves. If you keep a close eye on your cattle and maybe have a dog outside to keep them away its all good. But remember wolves and other canines aren't bad they just need to eat something because we are destroying their homes and food.
A congress of crows, or a murder of crows.
YES they do and also crows eat ducklings there are lots of birds that eat ducklings so keep an eye on your duckling wile in garden.
Apart from humans shooting them, crows are the top of their food chain.

Hawks, owls and crows mostly.
Raccoons, crows, vultures, and humans through habitat destruction are they're predators. Hawks may be predators too.

tall trees centrally located in good hunting/scavenging grounds free from predators - its like opening a hotel for crows.
