A bump with bonus corvidae fact!
The common blue jay, one of the smaller members of the corvidae family, is actually very aggressive and will occasionally gang up on hawks that fly near their nests.

(Personal experience fact?)
If you're out where the ravens fly often enough and wave or caw at them they will caw back or catch a draft and hang around. They may also do things like mimicking laughing to let you know it's time to go in from the field for lunch, or caw to get your attention to wave at them before leaving the end of the day!

Bump Fact [emoji=raven size=1]
Crows will adopt other crow babies or even other birbs babies! Two instances of this happening is when an adult crow known as RV died of the west Nile virus and his neighbor and crow friend adopted his babies. The other instance is when an orphaned fledgling blue jay showed up in a crows nest, the mother crow started taking care of them [emoji=heart size=1]

Corvid fact:
They Show Respect For The Dead And Hold "Funerals". Dr. Marc Bekoff has studied various animals including corvids and noted they have some interesting rituals to honor fallen friends. Much like other animals, corvids are known to mourn their dead. In one study, Bekoff observed magpies gently prodding a dead magpie with their beaks before retrieving grass and laying it near the deceased. Ravens and crows will stay for hours with a deceased member and drive other animals away from it.

Corvid Fun Fact!
The reputation of corvids being attracted to shiny things is actually a bit of myth. While it is true that crows and such scavenge various things to make their nests, they will likely avoid shiny objects, as it would make their nests noticeable and attract predators. The habit of taking specifically shiny objects is almost exclusively seen in younger birds still learning what to scavenge, or animals raised in captivity, who never had to grow out of the habit.
