Crow is smart enough to know better than to get in a fight unless they are sure to win with alacrity.

Crows hunt in packs not unlike other apex predators.
It was fascinating watching their cooperation when going after that baby dove I rescued.
It was a group of around 6 crows.
There were 2 that where perching on rooftops calling out to the others on the doves location / movement.
When the dove flew into some bushes a couple others took up deep safety positions will the rest tried to flush the dove out.
At one point the dove got out and flew under a parked car.
The lookouts called to the ground troops directing them to the car and they assumed the same deep cover / blitz formations.
Was fascinating to see how well they worked together. Kind scary actually.
The same group moves down my street every morning and if I go outside when they are within a house or two of me they get very obviously agitated at my presence.
