"Crowmates Forever" - 8" x 10" Hand Painted Watercolor + Tax & US Shipping

"Crowmates Forever" is a reminder that Crows generally mate for life, forming monogamous pair bonds that can last their entire lives.  They will find a new partner if their original mate dies.  Mated pairs stay together year-round and defend their territory together.  Pairs groom one another, and cooperate to build nests and raise their young.  Forgiveness is not often associated with Crows, and research shows they can hold grudges for as long as 17 years - attributed to their remarkable ability to remember specific human faces associated with negative experiences.  They will often pass this information to their own offspring, creating a "generational grudge" that can last for decades.  The moral of this story, is show kindness to our Corvid friends.  Hand painted watercolor painting.  All paintings arrive with temporary matting and stock frames, to protect them during shipping.
