Crows don't mind the strong winds as they are expert flyers.
And of course, crows also have a strong family and community bond.
They are reckoned as some of the most intelligent birds and one alarm call from a crow whenever a strange raptor enters their territories, will result in an army of crows attacking the stranger in the air.
It is only the meat eating raptor birds that the crows will attack and they leave all of the other birds alone, except of course if it is hungry and goes out nest hunting for food.
This was some kind of political meeting, and we watched the delegates arriving.
The pied crow (Corvus albus) is a widely distributed African bird species in the crow genus.
Structurally, the pied crow is better thought of as a small crow-sized raven, especially as it can hybridise with the Somali crow (dwarf raven) where their ranges meet in the Horn of Africa. Its behaviour, though, is more typical of the Eurasian carrion crows, and it may be a modern link (along with the Somali crow) between the Eurasian crows and the common raven.

The scout (also in the first picture) was flying high up above the meeting and keeping an eye out for opposition party snoopers.
I think the leading couple at the right in the black suits was on their way to the toilet, while their two bodyguards at the left were looking around for any suspicious movements.
Would this fly over perhaps be spies?
No, just two sets of Hadeda Ibis (Bostrychia hadedash) birds coming over.
I love to put some imaginative stories to the pictures that I take of animals and birds, as we are all supposed to have fun here on Hive.
Life can certainly get to us and when one gets a bit older, many new health battles enter the ring. But it has always been humor that I use as a crutch and it works well, for me at least.
So, I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
Note: I will be away for 3 days, as I have to undergo a hospital procedure, but I will catch up on the replies as soon as I am back.

Thank you kindly for supporting a post on behalf of @papilloncharity
in your area, the forest ecosystem, the survival of animals is still well maintained, it's different in my area, illegal logging, and poachers, without paying attention, and ignoring the preservation of nature, is very unfortunate
I am a newcomer to the hive blog, please guide and direct, so that I can grow and be great like you
Cape Nature definitely looks after the nature in this province, but all nine provinces over here also have many poachers, especially of our Rhinos. It is a worldwide problem, and sadly instead of caring mankind tries to destroy everything.
I am not great. I started the same like you. And all I can say to you, is to just keep on posting and engaging, and building your wallet (Hodl).

Thaks verimuch sir🙏
I'm wishing you all the best, my friend, hopefully you return healthy from hospital 🙏😊
BTW, I live crows and you have taken some lovely shots and maybe your imaginary story was actually the truth, who knows 😉
!invest_vote
Yeah, thank you, and I am still alive as you can see.
Nobody would know if my story is true or not, as even I don't know 😉
Cheers and thanks!
It's great to hear that you're well, my friend 😊
You can tell me any story and I would definitely believe every single word 😉 !LOLZ

The treatment was a horrible experience, as they did some welding in my stomach Hannes.
But as you can see, I am still up and coping.
I try my utter best to stay honest, but I also know that none of us can ever be perfect. Just as well, as otherwise life would become very boring 😜 !LOLZ
Cheers and thanks.

It is true that they have strong families
It is rare for you to see one of them moving alone.
Yeah, that is correct as they are community creatures.

I have seen crows attacking raptors, real sky battle. But also doves chasing a crow as well.
I hope all goes well and you will l be back with new stories to tell.
Yes, you are right and we have also seen many of the other small birds attacking big raptor birds. Most impressive how they try to protect their nests.
As you can see, I am back and life goes on. Thank you for the care.

Glad you are back. 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend!

African crows are much brighter than those that live in our area, apparently they do not want to give way to zebras in contrast :)
!BEER
Haha. I don't think there is a competition between the crows and the zebras, because the crows can never develop stripes 😁
!BEER
I'm talking about the white scarf of the crows :)
!BEER
Ah, okay as I misunderstood, so all is well :)
!BEER
It would be worse if the crows looked like a giraffe :)
!PIZZA
Hahaha, at least it would add some colors :)

It's good that the horns don't grow :)

The birds that exist crow are much more intelligent, the way we read the story when we were children that the water inside the glass was low and he wisely put a stone to bring it to the water line and then the water again had drunk. All these birds looks so beautiful and amazing.
Yes, thank you and there are many videos where they experimented with the intelligence of crows, and it is really amazing how birds can be so intelligent.
!PIZZA
Most welcome.
Seeing the story in the telling is what we hang onto, crows are most definitely confident wherever they go!
Stay well, keep well, look for new stories every day in nature as it converses with us.
!BEER
Ha! Oft times the crows can pay for their over confidence, as I have seen a "harmless" guinea fowl mom put a crow in its place !LOLZ
Oh yeah, I will hopefully go and do that soon again.
