Greetings,

I have posted a short video of one crow grooming another. I realize that crows grooming each other is not really that big of a deal until I looked at this one a few times. The recipient of the grooming appears very submissive or entranced while the grooming crow does not really seem to be grooming. Is this pair bonding? Submission? Is the receiving crow ill? Could the receiving crow be an offspring? It looks different then the groomer.

Thanks in advance, I am always seeking insight into crow behavior.

Take care
Dea Just
