Hooded crow  (Corvus cornix)

Like the carrion crow, this is an omnivorous species, taking a wide variety of food, including insects, molluscs, eggs from other birds' nests, berries and fish (2). Hooded crows are intelligent birds; in Finland they have been seen reeling in fishing lines left in holes in the ice to obtain fish (6). Other aspects of their general biology are very similar to that of the carrion crow.
