Amid the stark silhouettes of winter branches, a hooded crow perches in contemplative silence. Its feathers, dark and matted from rain or foraging, reveal a bird that thrives regardless of season. These highly intelligent corvids are known for their problem-solving skills, social complexity, and eerie vocalizations that echo across forest and city alike.
Their adaptability has allowed them to colonize nearly every habitat in Europe, often acting as silent witnesses to human activity—ever alert, ever observant.
