American crow

The American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) is a species of crow that is found in North America.[1][2][3][4][5] It is of least concern, this means that it is not in any danger of dying out.[6] A large group of crows is also called a murder. These crows can also be tamed to be around humans.[7]
