My roommate told me that as they went into an urban forest, they saw (or heard) a crow picking pieces of flesh off a still living and screaming rabbit until the rabbit eventually died.

Are crows able to prey on rabbits or was that incident more likely caused by a third, but then absent animal?

    Crows are omnivores, so would have no qualms about eating meat, although it’s not the main constituent of their diet. They are very intelligent and opportunistic and I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of crows hunting smaller birds and animals (most likely during circumstances where other food sources are scarce).
