The crow family (Corvidae) has members that are above average in size for the bird order Passeriformes; in fact, it includes several that are among the largest. Many members of this group display a flexible approach to food-finding and interaction between fellow species members and other animals. Some of the larger species (especially in the genus Corvus) also show levels of learned behavior of a high degree, and even insight in some examples that can be interpreted as intelligence. In February 2005 the Canadian scientist Dr Louis Lefebvre announced a method of measuring avian IQ in terms of their innovation in feeding habits: the Corvidae were named the most intelligent birds based on this scale.

Corvids are generally bold, noisy and gregarious (tending to form a group with others of the same kind), with evidence they originated from Australia.
Corvids do not show any difference between the male and female (sexually monomorphic) and they tend to be “dressed” in colors of fl, brown, grey, white and blue.
Most of the larger corvids have a strong, slightly curved bill shape with nasal bristles, whilst the smaller corvids often have a straight, pointed bill shape and no nasal bristles.

Often not so may are needed to bring in the corvids but they must be placed in a highly visible area or the corvids will ignore them, they also must be on a patch of land with something which a corvid would want to eat.
