Saw a Crow grab a Robin today.

[Bounty Hunter]

We were going shopping this morning, and we were about a mile from the house. We were driving along side a small road ditch and I saw a crow out of the corner of my eye sitting about five feet off the road. Just as we got about even with it, It jumped up and went about five feet and grabbed a Robin by the head, and flew off. I told my girlfriend as we drove on, and not too sure she believed me. That picture has been in my head all day. I have seen a lot in the woods, but never that.

Good spot! I bet that was interesting to witness. Crows will eat just about anything including toads, crawfish, garter snakes, and even robins and cardinals. No worries, you can tell your GF you're not crazy.

I saw Crows go after chicks in the Chicken yard on Grand dads Farm as a boy. We could shoot as many as we had time and ammo for. I never went to the farm with out at least a box of .22

Saw a group of them with a carcass last summer in my back yard. It was hard to tell but appeared to be a hawk nestling. I know they have a feud going with hawks but if I could have got to my equipment quick enough I would have taken a crow to church.

We have thinned them out around here.

I have heard that you can eat the breast meat from a crow. Has anyone ever tried it?

Pretty cool, Last year in my back yard I saw a Kestral snatch up a Cardinal and take it to the bird bath, it then proceeded to make Cardinal soup out of it, pretty amazing !

I've only ever eaten them pan fried and the taste was not to my liking. Color and texture is similar to duck and I am told it is good when prepared similarly.

Bud was a member of Crowbusters, he'd eat 'em.

Battery dekes hung from branches worked pretty well, but when the juice started to ebb............they worked better.
Must have looked more wounded.

We could hang them by the garage and blast birds............no need to go way back on the property. Pretty crazy.

Saw an eagle grab a squirrel off a limb at Monroe last year.

I saw a crow kill a chipmunk at Purdue about 10 years ago.

Wish that crow would come grab the robin that's been killing my last two hours of sleep for the past week.

Birds eat birds. It's nature.

Some taste more like chicken than others, but all birds are edible.

Wow. I must need more coffee because I read your thread as "saw a COW grab a robin..." I came in here expecting to be impressed by a bovine.

Didn't know a crow would do that. Interesting.
