Сorvid family belongs to the order Passeriformes and includes birds of medium and large size.
Corvids are one of the most intelligent birds. They move confidently on the ground, fly quite quickly and for a long time, they have a well-developed sense of smell, and in terms of intelligence they are not inferior to any other bird of the order Passeriformes. That is why they happily exist side by side with humans.
