Bozo
(American Crow)
Corvus brachyrhynchos
Crows are medium to large-sized birds with bills not
as long or heavy as those of ravens.
Crows have a fan-shaped tail in flight which is different from the
wedge-shaped tail of the raven. Crows make a characteristic “caw” call that is
not as “throaty” or guttural as that of the raven. Crows live in a variety of habitats and are
quite widespread.
Bozo
was raised by someone who wanted to make him a pet. He clipped his wings and kept him in poor
conditions. He is habituated to people though he still gets stressed when
people get too close to him. His tail
feathers remain damaged. He was rescued
and taken to a local veterinarian who transferred him to Critter Creek.
