Hi,

As I left my office in Kentville about an hour ago, there were 4 or 5 Crows
angrily mobbing and diving at another Crow - that was on the ground and
appeared to have a broken wing. I don't know if one of the healthy crows
attacked it and broke the wing as a reaction to something it did, or whether
they object to an injured crow in their midst. This behavior went on for a
good 5 minutes, and was continuing when I left.I woinder what the
explanation is, and whether it occurs in other birds.

Richard
