Corvids are considered some of the most intelligent birds on the planet.

Studies on magpies show that they possess self awareness, and many people speculate crows and ravens (cousins of magpies) possess the same cognitive behavior. There have been multiple studies on the intelligence of Crows and Ravens. Most notably in Japan where crows were found to drop nuts on the road to have the shells cracked open by passing cars, waiting for the light to turn red and then swooping down to pick up their meals.

I personally witnessed a large group of ravens in Fort McMurray, Canada working together to get into a large garbage bin. One raven would fly hold the lid open, while the others would get food. They would take turns so that everyone could get their fair share.

Unfortunately for that particular crow, albinism (and even normal "light morph" coloration) is linked to weaker feathers and increased feather wear, possibly leading to flight problems :(

Unless your attempted rapist had a meal worm, raw quail egg or miscellaneous shiny thing* as a dick I don't think any crow would be interested.

    If you look throughout my comment history, you will see I have posted this numerous times. Basically, whenever there is a post about corvids. TIL is a nice venue, but I prefer when people post something to /r/pics or some other group that isn't intended necessarily for learning, and they just happen to learn something along the way. You get a wider variety of people who aren't looking for just information or facts, and out of curiosity they learn something.

    Feel free to reap the karma by posting it yourself, any credit would be appreciated.

                    I think it's leucistic, not albino, though a pretty heavy case. The eye is pretty small in the picture but still appears to have pigment.

                    Thank god someone else wants to talk about this, had to scroll down to the bottom to find you...

                    It's my impression that this is a geniunely albinistic individual. Leucism wouldn't affect the color of the eye-ring, bill, and feet, which are clearly lacking any pigment.

                    And though there's no way to tell from the picture, its eyes are lighter colored (atypical for crow) and I suspect on further inspection would reveal as red.

                    Leucism's effects is limited to the pigmentation of feathers, to my understanding. IANAO, though.

                    sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

                    I'm no expert on bird law, but I have worked as a researcher in a laboratory that studies chickens. I think leucism CAN affect the iris, bill, and feet in birds, as well as pigmentation throughout the body. Leucism is simply the condition where melanin cannot be deposited, so any tissues that can express melanin deposition will be affected. I have to agree with guttata that this is a case of highly expressed leucism. If we look at the eyes, we can still see the pigmentation of the melanin in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which gives a dark color to the eye. If this was a case of albinism, we would not see the black pigmentation but would see the pinkish hue of the blood vessels.

                    EDIT: word choices for clarity

                    sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

                    Good point.

                    Ridiculously extremely leucistic, but I suppose there's no other way to explain the pigmented RPE.

                    These two pages from Cornell's layperson birdwatching site seem to think that some birds with pigmented eyes can be albinistic...

                    But possibly just a trick of camera? Usually Cornell is pretty good about ornithology resources. (Check out the head-featherless cardinal. Freakin dinosaurs...)

                    [–]ElFritoBandito 4 points5 points ago

                    sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

                    You bring up a very good point that birds with pigmented eyes can be albinistic. This is definitely true if we look at the definition of albinism as a lack of melanin. However, most of those birds will have predominantly yellowish eyes due to the nature of other major pigments in the RPE, such as lutein and zeaxanthin. They absorb blue light and appear yellow. Just judging from the photo, it appears this crow in question has very dark eyes rather than yellow eyes, which leads me to believe more in leucism than albinism.

                    Great conversation! I asked an ornithologist friend and he pointed me to this neat article, which suggests that the two terms we are using aren't the most productive.

                    So, as I think we can both agree that there is certainly some absence of melanins in this individual, the discussion is more over whether this is total amelanism or partial amelanism, with the eye pigmentation causing the ambiguity.

                    After looking at this picture for the n'th time, it's also pretty neat how absolutely without pigment it's leg skin is. A wonder that this individual survived to adulthood.

                    Agreed! Thanks for sharing the article; it's been one of the better reads on the entire ambiguity issue. I guess we'll never know for sure if this crow has total amelanism or partial amelanism until we see it in real life, but that is definitely a long shot. This crow is a real conundrum.

                    Bird law is the best of the laws.

                    I find it better than cat law, which is just silly sometimes.

                              That's just white-haired. Albino cow would have a pink nose, among other pigment deficiencies.

                              i didn't. it's not unknown that albionism results in lack of pigments.. he's just stating why the posted picture of a cow isn't an albino, but simply a white-haired cow. Not pretentious, really.. Even if you google 'albino cow' you see cows with pink noses left and right (and down, for several pages, actually).

                              Same here! I was like "how'd I see cow?" I was indeed disappointed because it must have been pretty spectacular for someone to point out a COW which is usually a pretty every-day or boring thing. But no, crow.

                                        He's just being eyefucked by a cute little number three fence posts down with an albino fetish. He's nervous, because he's never come into contact with another female before due to his condition. However, Fate has finally thrown the correct numbers and today, probability will sit in the water closest and cry for half an hour while crow babies are made.

                                        I thought this too. You know, crows are very smart. I would bet this crow feels sad because maybe it was ostracized by it's peers. And maybe, just maybe, humans can somehow read its body language.

                                        Either this, or we are just thinking this, and superimposed it with our minds eye.

                                          It's not albino, it's leucistic because it has black eyes; not pink. Albinism prevents production of melanin while leucism prevents the melanin from getting deposited. Cool pic!

                                          Are you sure it's Albino? I thought Albino animals had red eyes.

                                          Apollo turned the crows black because of Coronis's infidelity. This crow is blasphemous. Kill it.

                                            I misread crow as cow and wondered what the punch-line was for a second. Just thought I'd share.

                                            I'm tired and read the title as Albino Cow. When I clicked the link I was very confused.

                                            I wonder what would happen if First Nation people saw this way back when, there are stories about white ravens getting fire for humans and in turn it turned the Raven black and gave it a raspy caw.
