We fed crows dry dog food,They do the same thing take it away and "hid" it 
in the ground.I think they remember where it is, have seen them in winter go 
back to the spot and get food. w. Kettleson (Truro)

Subject: [NatureNS] Crow's food-storage


> There is a crow which perches in a small crab-apple tree in our yard, 
> evidently regarding it as his territory.  He calls vociferously when I 
> approach, and attempts to discourage other birds from alighting nearby.
>
> In recent days, I have observed this crow breaking up the crab-apples with 
> strong blows of his beak.  He then carries slivers of apple about, and 
> buries them by pushing them into the sod, and then covering them with 
> pieces of moss and clumps of grass.  A Canada Goose (who walked over while 
> the crow was doing this) was driven off with loud cawing.

> Perhaps this is common behavior, but it is the first time I have seen such 
> a thing.
