I saw a crow funeral once. It was so fascinating. I saw the old crow, clearly not well, then 30 mins later he had passed and there were crows all around. Another 30 mins and they had all left again (except the dead one obvs).

I'm really fortunate to live directly under their flight path to a massive roosting site in east Vancouver. Every day at dusk, there is a crow highway in the sky. They are fascinating creatures.

I've seen that, big flocks of crows flying somewhere every evening.

Where do they go?

More than once I've wanted to follow them.


I used to live near the flight path of crows retreating by dusk. For years, in warmer months, hundreds would gather daily at sunset at the local kiddie pool / nature park and have communal bath parties and squawk in the huge trees until the sun set, then fly off again.
