Torresian crows are Australian native birds that have adapted to city life. Crows are a common species in City of Moreton Bay and have an important role in our natural ecosystems. They feed on animal carcasses that would otherwise be left to rot and eat pests such as cane toads.
The Torresian crow is very intelligent. It has adapted so well to the urban environment that they use cars to crack nuts on roads. They even do this at pedestrian crossings to reduce the danger of oncoming traffic.
Crows can be very vocal during the breeding season as they interact with one another and their young. Expect an increase in noise from crows between August and February.
Do not feed crows. Feeding them human food causes nutritional imbalances, environmental health problems and public nuisance. Council discourages feeding wildlife.
Crows will quickly identify new food sources and congregate in these areas. This causes a nuisance to neighbours. You can help by:
Council installs covered bins in Moreton Bay's parks and recreation areas. This prevents crows from searching through rubbish for food. The bird-proof bins improve health and safety and helps maintain hygiene in our public spaces.
