Can a crow see in dark or night?
Yes. Cockerels like to practice and will voice their opinion at all hours. It can be quite annoying. The darker it is, the less likely they will make much noise. Take a flashlight and close up the coop one night to verify no light from other sources is entering the coop. Street lamps/barn lights even moonlight can shed enough light inside to keep the young rooster from dusk to dawn.
Yes, crows will prey upon baby rabbits while in their nests. We had a nest of baby rabbits in our backyard and we noticed the some of the babies missing and the fur of the nest scattered around. We found two of the babies and put them back into the nest and recovered it with fur. We suspected a cat. Later that afternoon I saw 2 crows at the nest, they had pulled the babies from the nest. We were too late to save them.

I hope this was helpful, and not too long! :)
To befriend a crow it is easiest to start in the winter. Scavangers like crows will have less food then. when some are in tree near your house go out and quietly lay some food such as nuts ,seeds, eggs, wet dog food or corn out. Then return inside. after a while they will start to know that you bring them food. They will learn to trust you. Also they enjoy shiny things so leaving bits of tin foil or garland out might be nice for them. Be sure to leave your gifts to the crows in the same spot. My crow knows my voice. so I can call him. If you would like this, before you leave food, talk out loud for a few seconds, then leave the food.
What are the characteristics of crows?
Copied right from wikipedia: The plumage of Carrion Crow is black with a green or purple sheen, much greener than the gloss of the Rook. The bill, legs and feet are also black. It can be distinguished from the Common Raven by its size (48--52 cm or 18 to 21 inches in length) and from the Hooded Crow by its black plumage, but there is frequent confusion between it and the Rook. The beak of the Crow is stouter and in consequence looks shorter, and whereas in the adult Rook the nostrils are bare, those of the Crow are covered at all ages with bristle-like feathers.
How do people scare crows away?
Crows are scared away by gunshots. Since this is not practical in a residential setting you can emulate a gunshot by slapping two wide boards together. A couple of 1 X 6 boards about 12 inches long does an excellant job.
What is the difference between crows and pigeons?
