What do crows eat?

Crows are scavengers, as well as Birds of Prey. They will eat anything, plant or animal, dead or alive.

Although crows are known for playing an essential part in keeping their environment clean, which includes cleaning up - by eating - roadkill and other corpses, rotten food, and a variety of things that make human stomachs turn, crows are fastidious given the opportunity, and will routinely, if clean water is handy, wash their food in it. They will also leave food on top of ants' nests for a while, to allow the ants, to clean it up a bit and also - because their usual food is frequently coated in ants - possibly for extra flavour.

They'll catch small creatures such as insects and mice, but while they much prefer live food, they'll eat pretty well everything available.

Crows are sometimes blamed for killing creatures, probably because it seems a logical conclusion to draw when crows are seen feeding on, for example, a dead lamb. Research has confirmed what many farmers know: that crows simply clean up the bodies of dead or dying animals. It doesn't seem a very pleasant prospect, but consider this: if you were a creature fatally ill or injured, with no prospect of help or recovery, which would you prefer: slow death by flies, ants, or wild animals, or a quick death by crow? The crow usually first approaches the brain through the eye sockets, which sounds awful, but affords the stricken creature a very quick end, compared to the horrible alternative.

Urban crows also perform a service to humans in cleaning up the rubbish we leave lying around. Their ability to eat almost anything is a great contribution to urban health, and as a bonus, they enjoy eating creatures considered pests by gardeners and farmers, such as grasshoppers, moths, caterpillars, and so on.

If happiness depended on success and wealth, then all the rich people would be glad. Look around and see many of them are sad. Therefore, what controls happiness?

Yes, happiness is a state, a choice and we control it with our choosing to be happy.

Are crows color blind?

Depth is perceived when each eye provides a slightly different view of the same scene, when there is an overlap in the field of vision. This is known as binocular vision. Birds such as Owls, which have both eyes facing forward, have binocular vision similar to our own, but most nonpredatory birds have eyes whose fields of view do not overlap enough to provide this ability. Instead, their laterally placed eyes give them a wider total view, the better to detect an approaching predator. Scientist believe that to compensate for their lack of binocular vision, some birds bob their heads, thereby viewing the same subject rapidly from different angles.

In many species, eye color changes as the bird matures and can serve as a means of determining an individual's age. For American Crow, it changes from blue or blue-gray to brown. These birds are not color blind.
