The main distinguishing feature of a carrion crow over other types of crow is that you can take it on a plane with you

Analysis of crow neural activity has shown that crows are likely able to ponder their own knowledge. Not just know things, but think about the fact that they know things, how they know what they know, and how they can apply it to new situations. Crows have also been observed passing down knowledge. Not just normal "This is how you hunt" things every animal does either, unique specialized skills.

Are there crow philosophers? Crow historians? Do crows in certain regions have an oral tradition and history? Crows mate for life, are there crow families that have a long history of passing down specific unique skillsets valuable to the local crow population? Are there crow apprenticeships where a curious fledgling can learn these skills and become an honorary member of the family? Is corvid social status a thing?

They're fucking fascinating little birds.

@Anke Ah, hm. A couple thoughts bounced around in my head at first, like "made to order" or "printed on demand", but those don't sound quite right.
