Topic Reading-Vol.1278-10/11/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
The birds that fear death
Don’t tease or threaten crows. They remember you. A recent study confirmed that crows remember a threatening person’s face and let others know of it by croaking. Then the next time the person appears, they scold loudly trying to scare the person away. They seem to possess cognitive and communicative ability.
They are also able to recognize the death of their own species. When there is death in their community, they gather around and squawk loudly nearby the dead crow. There are some other animals that do the similar thing such as elephants, giraffes and chimpanzees.
Enjoy reading and learning this interesting experiment to find how crows react to death.
