Crows may have white in their feathers due to genetic mutations or variations, such as leucism, which reduces pigmentation. This can result in patches of white feathers alongside their typical black plumage. Environmental factors and selective pressures may also play a role, as certain white markings could offer advantages in specific habitats or social interactions. Overall, the presence of white in crows' feathers is a fascinating example of the diversity within bird coloration.
