Crows shake their tail feathers upon landing in a safe territory. This behavior is done one to three times, according to their level of excitement.

This crow is covered in ants! Birds sometimes practice anting, where they rub ants or other insects on their feathers. The chemicals released by the insects can help with plumage care and keeping pests away. 📸 Tony Austin

They shake their tails like dogs? And theyre smart as hell. Crows have been slowly moving up my favorite animals list

Crows are smarter creatures, and with increased intelligence it comes increased boredom, so this is just something they do for their fun like instigating cat fights. 😂😂

These two, Crow and cat are the best combo 😂

Crows’ tail-shaking is just one of many unique behaviors that set them apart. Like other birds, they have their own distinctive ways of communicating and expressing excitement!

And then they peck your eyes out 🤷

Crows are so amazing! I want a pet crow!

I never knew this about them.

This statement about crows shaking their tail feathers is not supported by scientific literature. Crows do exhibit various behaviors, but specific behaviors like tail shaking upon landing in safe territories with the frequency mentioned are not documented in ornithological studies. Therefore, this could be an anecdotal observation rather than a well-documented behavior.
