Raven & Crows mating season *

I would like to come back as a Crow or Raven and would hope to mate for life <3 sh-raven-nest American crows' mating season begins in early February, when pairs and small families start to separate from communal roosts and stay in their territories at night. Crows are known to form lifelong partnerships, and males and females may move closer together, preen each other, and share food more often. In March, crows perform a courtship ritual that includes aerial maneuvers, bowing, strutting, and puffing their feathers while making a gentle "rattle" song. Ravens in the Interior begin displaying courtship behavior in mid-January, and by mid-March adult pairs are roosting near their nesting locations. The female lays from 3 to 7 eggs. Only the female incubates the eggs; she is fed by the male while on the nest. Ravens are a generally monogamous species, some pairs even mating for life. Ravens will ride air currents and perform various aerial displays from tumbling tricks to acrobatics, and will even have mid-air sparring matches. Do ravens fall in love? Between foraging, mischief-making, and play, raven pairs continue to make time for romance outside of mating season. Partners regularly give each other special treats and go on romantic flights, gliding wing tip to wing tip to cement their relationship.
