Corvidae

The crow family Corvidae, have members that are above average in size for the bird order Passeriformes, indeed it includes several that are among the largest. Many members of this group show themselves at the very least, to have a flexible approach to their food-finding and interaction between fellow species members, and with 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.

There are many species in this family, but they can be divided into well-defined groups.

• The Choughs, genus Pyrrhocorax
• The Magpies
• The Treepies
• The Nutcrackerss, genus Nucifraga
