Yes, it does. Among the birds, the crow is quite intelligent. They're 
awfully wary of danger. Their eyesight is marvelous and they are 
difficult to get close to under most circumstances. They are actually 
hunted in some places and the hunters must use camo-clothing, calls and 
other tricks to get them within range. They're also called carrion crows 
for a reason; they eat the rotting flesh of dead animals.
