 There are birds living near our houses, in woods, marshy lands and in hills.There are different in colour, size and habit.Many of them are a very nice to look at. Their food also is different. The crow is teasing bird. It is a most common and cunning bird. It is an ugly bird. It is somewhat useful. It feeds on dead animals and many rotten and dirty things. So it is also a teasing bird.
