{"fact":"Waste isn't always a bad thing for crows.  Carrion/Hooded Crows, along with Rooks and Magpies, prefer open habitats in cities like grassy areas and even bare soil, likely because these areas offer easy foraging for insects and other invertebrates.","context":"The majority (the Carrion/Hooded Crow, Rook, and Eurasian Magpie) were positively linked to open spaces (grass and bare soil cover; Table 2). This selection may be related to their feeding habits because various studies have shown that the abundance and habitat selection of corvids in cities were influenced by food availability [12,24,40].","source":"Farah Abou Zeid; Federico Morelli; Juan Diego Ib'añez-'Alamo; Mario D'iaz; Jiř'i Reif; Jukka Jokimäki; Jukka Suhonen; Marja-Liisa Kaisanlahti-Jokimäki; G'abor Mark'o; Raphaël Bussière; Marko Mägi; Piotr Tryjanowski; Theodoros Kominos; Antonia Galanaki; Nikos Bukas; Fabio Pruscini; Leszek Jerzak; Olaf Ciebiera; Yanina Benedetti, Spatial Overlap and Habitat Selection of Corvid Species in European Cities, 10.3390/ani13071192","index":614}
