Why crows do not hunt pigeons?

Question

They do eat dead pigeons.

Answer 1

they are scavengers, not hunters.

Answer 2

Crows are opportunistic omnivores. They will eat almost anything, and they will fill up on the easiest to get. Most of the time, it is a lot easier for a crow to scavenge a dead pigeon than to chase a live one, but if necessary, they will hunt their prey.

Of course, crows are not built to chase birds. so they probably not be too successful huntin pigeons.

Answer 3

Crows don't hunt other birds..they are not birds of prey, they usually feed from carrion and are opportunistic feeders..but not typically hunters.  They will prey upon baby chicks in a nest, but do not go after adult birds.
