Do crows perform rituals to honor the dead?
In short: Animal behaviorist Kaeli Swift explores the death habits of crows to see what they might reveal about the human relationship to mortality and the natural world's rituals.
The video examines how rituals for the dead are not exclusive to humans, but span much of the natural world. Beyond humans, species such as elephants, bees, and dolphins have been observed engaging in such practices.
By studying the life and death habits of crows, Swift investigates whether these avian responses offer insights into how we perceive our own mortality.
