HI!! I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD ANY COOL CROW FACTS AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT YOU ARE PURPLE PERSONIFIED AND VERY VERY COOL! :D

Crows are fascinating birds & they are actually very smart & they don't deserve the bad reputation they have.

Alright, here are some facts:

When a crow dies, its neighbours may have a funeral.

Older crow siblings help the parents co-parent their smaller siblings.

Crows have regional dialects, just like humans.

They are also able to read traffic lights.

Beware, crows are good at facial recognition & thus can hold a grudge. ;)

Crows understand impulse control (unlike Nardo)

But also:

Crows, ravens & parrots have the biggest brain-to-body size ratios of all living bird species.

They’ve shown levels of cognition that put them on par with the great apes. In lab tests, they have shown a much higher density of neurons in their forebrains than primates do.

The number of neurons in this region is thought to correlate with a given animal’s intelligence.

Theoretically, having more neurons translates to better cognitive reasoning.

A 2020 study looked at whether crows, like humans & great apes, can demonstrate consciousness.

Crow brains lack a cerebral cortex, where most of the primate brain’s conscious perception happens. Researchers tracked the brain activity in two crows as they performed different tasks & discovered that they could perceive sensory input, suggesting that there is much more to understand about the evolution of consciousness.

I hope you're satisfied! /g

Thank you for the compliment ~

Communication Guidelines

Remember these are Birds

If you want to talk to a specific crow, you can ask!

Crows will appear randomly, but you can request one through dms, and I'll get back to you ask quickly as I can. Currently I'm going to cap the number of them to ten, though, and we'll see how I manage to keep up with them.

(As things are revealed about the crows, I'll put them here for easier access!)

Could I have some crow facts? Thank you if you can!!!!!!!

Helllooo! Yes ofc you can!

Crows | Corvus

⟡ They’ll eat just about anything! Fruits, nuts, small animals, etc!

⟡ They mate for life! <33 cuties

⟡ Smart fellas!! They have the LARGEST brain to body ratio of any bird

⟡ Most scientists refer to them as a flock, not a murder, “murder” is usually used as their poetic group name

⟡ Oftem mistake for ravens, but crows are actually smaller with pointed wings and tails

Rick having a crow hyperfixation OMMMGG!! Thank you for giving us crow facts via Rick fanart; if you have even more Crow Knowledge to share please do 💕

Oh jeez I actually do!!

Here's some more because I why not become Rick for a moment.

Along side Vultures, gulls, Frigatebirds and other corvids crows are carrion birds which means they eat corpses!

Crows can mimic sounds and voices much like parrots and so can others in the corvid family

Like I said before Crows remember faces and how people treat them, but did you know they not only tell their other crow buddies about you, they also hand that knowledge down to their offspring!

I also mentioned they bring gifts! Some people have found that they also make gifts, it was recorded that crows gifted someone a ring pull with pine needle branches threaded through, its hand made art!!

Crows can solve logic puzzles and understand things like water volume and have used stones to raise water level to retrieve a tasty peanut!

They can also learn to exchange recycling for money which can also reward them with tasty treats when put into a special dispenser for them!

Crows have been seen dropping hard nuts on busy roads and use cars to break the nuts for them!

They understand the concept of fun and have been seeing sliding down car windows when they are icy but have also been seen using lids as little snow boards, too!

There's a neat little video of a crow bouncing down the street, crows don't need to act hop to get around and are proficient at walking about so he was probably just having fun bouncing.

Crows also know how to work together and can be seen helping each other when ganging up on predators.

They also enjoy bullying other animals like pulling dogs tails to irritate them!

They're one of the planets most intelligent species just like dolphins!

Like I said before, crows hold funerals for their deseased friends and also have the capacity to morn.

Make sure you feed and treat your local Crows and Corvids well and you'll make friends for life!! They like peanuts!

Thank you for asking, I love these guys so much that I even rewrote Dungeons and Dragons Kenku specifically for a homebrew to be much more influenced by their irl nature.

Sadly I don't know much about crows, but I've always loved the hc that Summoners pick up traits from their Summons over time, so I wanted to ask- any interesting crows facts/behaviors that Shisui might have picked up and do himself? 👀👀👀

ALSO. I've loved the thing behind Shisui's and Itachi's teeth clacking ever since you said it in one of your many author notes, can you imagine Shisui alone in his house or apartment quietly clacking to himself not really saying anything but just as a vocal stim while, like, cooking or cleaning or something (although he's probably too well-trained to let himself do that? Idk, I just find the idea adorable and I've decided to project my own constant vocal stimming onto him)

Hey!

Oooh this is a good ask, it's just a shame I missed out on Shisui's and Itachi's more 'animalistic traits' with the Crow Summons in HOPE AU because I didn't think to incorporate them earlier. It all started when I made Shisui and Kakashi start posturing.... ✨

Summoner Animal Chakra is more present in other fics, specifically WARD where Summoners are a major plot point, but Kakashi is really the only character we see with the most tangible influence from his Summons in NoT/UDB. Boo ;(

Shisui and Itachi absolutely have Corvid influences tho!

Shisui would definitely click his teeth at home, in the field the professionalism wins over but in-village there's a laxness that allows for ticks and habits.

Shisui also whistles a lot.

His fixation with the Shunshin only deepened after signing the contract and experiencing flight with Kana 🥹 he does that "weightless" drop a lot and, when he fights, you'll notice a lot of "dive bombing" or "kill stealing" behaviour (look at how he fought alongside Kisame, letting Kisame do the brute force so that he can circle and take advantage)...

Shisui also speaks in Crow more often that Itachi does, so he's more likely to slip into non-human vocalisations when tired or frustrated, all of which only adds to his little oral fixation with his capped teeth

And then...

Itachi, since he was even younger than Shisui when he signed the Contract and therefore will spend even more of his life influenced by Crow Chakra, would be even more demonstrative if he wasn't naturally more introverted.

Itachi, when he was younger, hopped a bit tho 😭 his Shunshin was more leaps than strides until Fugaku, thinking it was a problem with technique, drilled it out of him...

Itachi also cocks his head in a birdlike manner.

He preens his hair a little, swirling strands near his hairline (this is how crows do it, twirling each feather and working backwards), but he preens Sasuke even more (crows generally preen in pairs).

There are more but they do align with generic Shinobi/Uchiha behavior; however, look at all this cool Corvid Bird Fact overlap with Shisui and Itachi's Shinobi lifestyle!

Facial recognition. Corvids will not only identify different faces with friends/foes but they also spread this information throughout their flocks. Students discovered that wearing a face mask upside down just made the birds tilt their heads to recognise, and then act as they would have otherwise. This ties well with Sharingan memorisation

Patterns and problem solving. Corvids make tools, to the extent of some birds favouring one angle to another like humans are left or right handed. They're also able to quickly pick up human behaviors (like bargaining random objects, that can become extremely specific like money as the human chooses what to accept, for food) as well as solve problems (that fable with the Crow dropping stones into the water jug until it's high enough to drink? Proven real). Crows can also make astute judgement calls (drop something then go back to find it? A Corvid was seen picking the item up, washing the dirt off in the birdbath, and then leaving it out for the owner). This fits with Uchiha/Shinobi problem solving, as well as Shisui and Itachi's own abilities to look at issues sideways and figure something out.

The famous "crow funerals"! We don't know for sure that they are funerals although they're believed to be emotionally intelligent, when Crows gather around one of their dead, because it's also highly likely that they're either examining the cause of death (crime drama) or they're... Having a teachable moment (Fugaku, is that you intentionally traumatising your toddler?). Either way, this felt bizarrely on the nose for Shisui and Itachi

Crows use traffic to crack nuts, leaving inaccessible food in the road because they know the cars will smash them. This screams 'piggyback off someone else's technique' to me, which is so Uchiha

Crows mate for life but may "remarry" if one dies etc. Not saying that Uchiha are strict but... they feel things very strongly so 🤷

Crows have the largest brain to body ratio of ANY bird, it's actually comparative to a chimpanzee... Shisui and Itachi are geniuses, nuff said

Crows are one of only four species that can craft tools (humans, chimps, orangutans, crows). They sharpen sticks etc (see above about "left handed/right handed") so can we get a round of applause for genius as well as resourcefulness. Not to sound like a broken record but *gestures furiously towards Itachi and Shisui*

Crows are paranoid and will intentionally hide their food inside their feathers after pretending to place it elsewhere if they feel watched. Ummmmmm.... The parallels??

There's a precedent of juvenile crows (teens) staying with their parents family unit for a while in order to, basically, do chores and, if they choose to stick around instead of mating, raise younger siblings in newer nests. Like I'm sorry but cooperative raising??? This is so Shisui-Itachi-Sasuke-and-the-Uchiha-Cousins to me

Finally.... A flock of Crows is sometimes called a murder! Perfection✨

Basically not only are Shisui and Itachi mirrored really nicely with the characteristics and values of their Summons but their actual Summons are a great match for them in a practical sense too!

You absolutely didn't need all this info but you've got it now! 🤣

can you tell me a fun fact about crows? :D

of course! Did you know that crows will work with wolves to catch food? They'll lead Wolf packs to good places to catch food, the wolves get the most of the catch and the crows get to eat what's left!

shadow and bone is like. it's the worst show i've ever seen it's the best show i've even seen it's a bad adaptation it's fanfiction with a netflix budget it's better than i expected it's worse than i wanted it's pure fan service the acting is phenomenal the writing is terrible and the thing is it's all of these things. but also it's none of these things because most importantly shadow and bone is a vessel for freddy carter to give the performance of a lifetime

#freddy as kaz really makes me mourn the fact that they didn't do a crows spinoff after s1 #he's THAT BITCH!!!! #i maintain that freddy and amita are the backbone of the show. it all hinges on them #shadow and bone #grishaverse #freddy carter

Reading Six of Crows for the second time (first time was 5 years ago) and hOW did I never notice that Kaz wasn't actually a moody broody barrel boss?? He's literally so easily entertained!

Like this part (translated from the German version):

Kaz: "When we get our money, you can burn your Kruge to keep warm"

Jesper: "I'm going to pay someone to burn my Kruge for me"

Kaz *catches up to him*: "Why don't you pay someone to pay someone to burn your Kruge for you? That's how the big bosses do it!"

Jesper: "You know what the big bosses do? They pay someone to pay someone..."

Their voices got quieter as they walked ahead and the others followed them

I can only imagine that Kaz, the so called never smiling, no-fun, hardened barrel-boss kept going "Oh, but the REAL big bosses pay someone to pay someone to PAY someone to pay someone to burn their kruge for them!"

And Jesper replies "I don't disagree, but the ACTUAL big bosses pay someone to pay someone to pay someone to pay someone to pay someone to burn their kruge for them!" until Matthias eventually yells at both of them to shut the fck up

like i know netflix doesn't care, because they're all about new subscriptions over anything else, but do they not realize they've created a self-fulfilling prophecy? they cancel shows after 1 or 2 seasons because they didn't get the instant viewership they wanted, which makes people jaded and resolve not to watch new shows from them until it's finished, or at least has several seasons under its belt, which means that their new shows doesn't get the instant viewership they wanted
