“        {{w|Family (biology)|Family}} {{w|Corvidae}}: CROWS AND JAYSThe crows are large black birds, walkers, with stout feet adapted for the purpose. Fond of shifting their residence at different seasons rather than strictly migratory, for, except at the northern limit of range, they remain resident all the year. Gregarious. Sexes alike. Omnivorous feeders, being partly carnivorous as are also the {{w|jays}}. Both crows and jays inhabit wooded country. Their voices are boisterous and bold, particularly the jays. Devoted mates; unpleasant neighbors.”
