Why are crows called scavengers?
There is some observational evidence to suggest that ravens (and crows) have a relationship with wolves living in the same area. Ravens have been known to fly ahead of a wolf pack on the hunt and it has been suggested that they may be leading the wolves in the direction of prey.
Ravens, being scavengers, get a good meal from a wolf kill and the wolves get an easier hunt. Symbiosis.
Wolves and ravens have also been observed playing with each other on many occasions.

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.
Crows are very smart and curious. It was probably checking to see if you had food or were looking for food and could steal some. They learn very quickly that if a human is near (farmers) food is near also. Most large crows are not very afraid of people.

No. It does not even make the list of the five loudest birds in the world.
The loudest birds are "oil birds", which live in caves and navigate via echolocation. The sounds they make can range up to 100 decibels and this sound is exaggerated because they nest in the thousands. The next loudest birds a re all species of parrots. See the related link below for information on which species of parrots are the loudest.

Yes they are edible. As edible as chicken . Its only our ability to pop down to the supermarket and choose an alternative that prevents us from trying. We would have no such qualms if you were lost in a forest for days and nothing to eat.

Back in the day the Crow were in two broken into two main bands.
Both of the bands had early run ins with American trappers that lead them to take a course of avoiding war with white settlers.
Jim Beckworth, a half black mountain man took up residence with the Crow in the 1830s and strongly influenced them into trapping and trading with the mountain men, rather than raiding trappers to get their goods.
Later, a 12 year old who would be named Plenty Coups had a dream quest vision in which he saw a chickadee whether a storm that killed everything else in the forest.
The tribal elders took this dream very seriously and interpreted it to mean that the only safe path for the Crow was to befriend the whites.Plenty Coups went on to be a significant chief and helped turn the Crow into military allies and scouts for the US army.In this capacity they often fought bravely side by side with US soldiers against the Sioux and Cheyenne with whom they had been warring for generations.
Also the Story made famous by the movie Jeremiah Johnson is based upon the true experience of a man called Liver eating Johnson who had a personal war against the Crow for nearly a decade.
What are adaptations for a crow?
I've heard that crows have adapted really well to humans. They will actually drop nuts in the middle of busy streets so cars will drive over them and crack the shells. Also, researchers have found that between a brown paper bag filled with fries and a McDonald's bag filled with fries, the crows will usually go to the McDonald's bag for food first, as food is more likely found in a McDonald's bag. I hope this helped, seeing as it's probably not what you were looking for.

Yes, every year starting in end of May to the end of June is when the new babies are born and crows will regularly and actively attack anything that gets close to its nesting area. I know this because I have been attacked countless times on my way to work.

How can you tell a crow from a raven?
Ravens feathers generally have a blue-ish tinge to them as they are so black, and they are bigger than most crows. crows also tend to have a larger head than ravens. Ravens are generally larger(21" vs 17") with a wedgeshaped tail, and crows seldom glide for more than 2-3 seconds. I think they have different shaped beaks
The common Crow is called the Carrion Crow and it eats carrion (dead flesh). It also eats young and injured birds and mammals; eggs; insects, worms and other invertebrates; and grain fruit and seeds.
As eggs or as hatchling snakes will eat them. As a hatchling ants will kill and eat them if given the chance. As a full grown crow large raptors will prey on them. Vultures, rodrunners, magots, ants, and other crows will eat the already-dead crow bird.
The crow may seem an unlikely power animal candidate. However, the crow is regarded in Shamanist faith as a creature that transports souls out of the dark and into the light. He is also known as a "judge" of sorts, representing all things ethical and fair.
