Crows are nature’s most adaptable animals which has survived almost anywhere amidst the growing human population and urbanizing environments. The jungle crow remains to be a species of great interest as it tends to possess unique characteristics being an opportunistic feeder. The feeding habit of Indian jungle crows have been studied in the past and is well known although, there remains unusual feeding habits of this species often documented rarely.
