I have witnessed a mob of crows (it looked like adults along with juveniles) chase down a mourning dove midflight -- one of the crows caught the dove midflight with its claws, then carried it to a parking lot nearby, where it then proceeded (while the other crows watched) to kill the dove and pluck its feathers off; it then fed pieces of the dove to the juvenile onlookers. So yes, crows do kill and eat birds. They are opportunistic feeders. It is the circle of life, though, and I have no problem with it, even though I feed many songbirds in my yard. Crows and other birds have been existing together for thousands of years.
Dear Hali,
Thank you for pointing out the errors of my answer. I never ever get upset about being told or informed to the truth or being informed as to what is ACCURATE! Nor should anyone ever, "Life is a living learning opportunity", that everyday I learn something new , then I know I have had a good day. Thank you.
Three days in a row. Looks like a birdie slaughter house in my birdbath. I think crows brought their meal to take it apart in the birdbath. Nothing left but just bird legs with feet and some feathers. Birdbath going away. Disturbing.
