Are cats scared of crows?
Crows are unlikely to attack adult cats without a reason to do so. Crows are actually part of a much larger group of birds, classified as Corvidae which include the likes of jackdaws, rooks, magpies and ravens. These are just some of the other birds you’ll want to be aware of as a cat owner.
Intelligence and Behavior Teams of ravens have been known to hunt down game too large for a single bird. They also prey on eggs and nestlings of other birds, such as coastal seabirds, as well as rodents, grains, worms, and insects. Ravens do dine on carrion and sometimes on human garbage.
Do crows raid other birds nests?
You witnessed a behavior called “mobbing,” where smaller birds swoop and dash at flying or perched larger birds (and sometimes mammals). They typically do this in an effort to drive away potential predators from a breeding territory, a nest or young, or a nonbreeding home range.
