- ravens seldomly attack crows because crows can outmaneuver and outclimb them. However, Kilham observed the opposite to be true at the New Hampshire farm study site, where the ravens outmaneuvered the crows in the forest and well as in the open.

DEM CLEVER RAVENS
- After his four winters of observation and eperimentation, he learned that the raven's (unmated juveniles) possibly "recruit" others to a food source because, by sharing with others it gains "friends," from which it may gain a mate from in the future due to its foraging abilities. While mated pairs are more-or-less anchored to their localized nesting area; low status juveniles are left to form wondering unmated "gangs." Thus, mated pairs would not benifit from "recruiting" others to a food source, and likewise, juveniles are careful not to tip-off dominant mated adults.
