Green-winged crows

A lively, intelligent bird of the marshes and shores, the green-winged crow can be tamed even as an adult. They make effective messengers, able to find their way home from any direction within a 75- 100 mile radius. However, like most of the corvidae, they are attracted and distracted by shiny objects. With their shiny black plumage marked distinctively on the "shoulder" of the wing with a patch of iridescent green, these crows make attractive pets.
