Just watched two crows outside the windows of my school's lunch room. One was squatting on the ground while the other used its bill to comb through its throat feathers. I don't know if it was looking for parasites or what, but I'd never witnessed it before. A little while later the behavior was repeated on the crown of the bird's head and on its neck. I'd be interested to know if this a well known behavior. Here's a link to a cell phone video. You may need to watch on a large screen.
