	Behavior:	Crows are ground foragers and are often found not only in the wild, but around dumpsters and landfills. They work together to harass or drive off predators.
	Social Organization:	Being very social birds, crows are more often seen in groups than alone. Some winter roots can number to hundreds of thousands.
	Approval Level*:	None; Crows are common animals that would not create drastic changes in the RP.
	Kill Difficulty:	Moderate; With their mobbing techniques of attacking predators as a group, it would be difficult to target one crow to kill.
	Hunting Difficulty:	Specialty - Group Flying; Multiple cats are needed to distract the majority of the crows while a few are hunted.
	Food Quality:	High; While their diet of rotting food leaves their taste a little to be desired, crows are large birds with a fair amount of nutrients.
*Some creatures require approval to appear in RP. This is to make sure the Admins and Mods who need to know are fully aware of a species currently active in their area. These ratings are mainly for those creatures that are uncommon or pose a threat of some sort to the cats.
