i dont know why but all over the world crows hate falcons and eagles ... i've seen it a couple of times on tv from countries far away ... yesterday i could see it my self ... firstly one crow approached and started stressing the sparrowhawk, then a second crow appeared and together they kept attacking until the sparrowhawk disappeared ... where does this eternal antipathy comes from ... ?
