Dunno about this - crows certainly roost together in numbers & you often see them feeding together in a field. A murder of crows..
Yes. It's a total myth that crows are solitary - that's one bit of rural lore that is so off I doubt it was created by anyone who'd ever seen a crow...or been in the countryside.
To be fair though, crows are often solitary nesters, whereas rooks create communes; the phrase could maybe be applied to their nesting habits.
There's been a similar discussion on the rather opaquely named The Most Unbelievable and Sinister Thing I've Ever Seen thread.
Edit - after Dave Plankton's post: For clarity the first sentence should really be 'myth that crows are exclusively solitary.'
